[Bug 9379] Re: Xnest default size messed up with Xinerama
Rolf, Xinerama is long gone, so I suspect whatever issue you're having (hard to say without seeing your logs or something) is something different. Please file a new bug from the affected machine via `ubuntu- bug xorg-server`. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Assignee: Ubuntu-X (ubuntu-x-swat) = (unassigned) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- Xnest default size messed up with Xinerama https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 9379] Re: Xnest default size messed up with Xinerama
Xinerama as in the exact implementation of multi-screen X displays may be long-gone. Xinerama the X protocol extension and method for applications to query the actual displays' geometry is AFAIK alive, and used by many non- Xinerama multi display desktop implementations. Now, I'm not certain if xrandr 1.2 is meant to replace this functionality of the Xinerama extension and client libraries also (partially seeing as I don't know if the Xinerama extension can cope with the dynamic nature of xrandr configuration). But I know that this bug persists in 8.10. I just tried gdmflexiserver --xnest and while Metacity restricted the Xnest window size to the width of a single screen, that window did not show the whole Xnest desktop; indeed, the Xnest window had to be dragged significantly wider (than one monitor) for the whole Xnest area to show. So at least as of 8.10, this is still very much an issue for anyone utilizing gdmflexiserver in xnest mode (and xnest users in general, though it's easier to explicitly set the desktop size using it directly). What I don't know is if it's fixed in later releases or whether the Xinerama client libraries are the correct way to go about it anymore. Anyway, it's an upstream thing, certainly... -- Xnest default size messed up with Xinerama https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

'course, the case could be made to abandon Xnest for Xephyr , which apparently starts up in a modest 640x480 per default but can be reasonably grown through the usual Xrandr. That would be a gdmflexiserver issue, of course. -- Xnest default size messed up with Xinerama https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Aand of course, as bug 173837 tells us, gdmflexiserver _does_ actually use Xephyr over Xnest if installed.

I don't think it is. I have an internal display with 1024x768 and an external on with 1680x1050. The login is screen is higher than 1050 pixels. I see no option to set the screen size anywhere. Just lots of questions I found with google, but no answers. ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- Xnest default size messed up with Xinerama https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
