Hello.
Just found some time to test out this patch against todays svn.
A small conflict due to the addition of the taskbar happens during
applying it. Trivial to fix.
same.
More interesting is a segfault when edje_cc builds the .edj. A
backtrace points to ecore_mainloop and friends used for the SVG stuff.
And indeed, converting the svg to png make edje_cc happy. (separate
mail for the issue)
separate issue indeed - but i didn't see that problem. worked for me. :/

a small issue. but there are bigger fish to fry. :)
I only see one output here which seems to be the LVDS of my notebook.
The external monitor connected over DVI and from xrandr detected as
HDMI2 seems to be missing completely. Problems with EDID parsing or
such? Where should I look for debug infos for this?
did you try restart e after it's plugged in? i have it showing hdmi and lvds.
this i think is the issue of polling. you need to keep checking for new screens
with current xorgs to see a new monitor. this is something ifound last patch
rounf.
The setup is a Lenove X220 with a docking station and one monitor
connected over DVI. I can test with VGA the next days as well. xrandr
is happy with detecting it and I'm able to set it up as multi-monitor
with it.
- segv when closing the dialog because of resize callback of the
arrengement smart class are called after the dialog's data is freed
Does not happen here.
i found a different segv:

- missing icons for policies and orientations
- missing policy for ask what to do on connection
Backend (e_randr):
- missing polling backend for events
- setup storage seems to fail, but should be fixable soon(TM).
The popup if one wants to keep the settings seems also to small. The
second counter is not completely visible. The storage button did not
trigger any event and keep and restore have been not always working
for me.
Besides that it looks quite nice.
Need to find out why it does not detect my external monitor the next
days.
h you haven't gotten to the next phase then... where it's a bitch to get it
to work at all. i've been trying to drag monitors left and right and they stick
then reset afterwards. if i select things like left of or right of and so
on i find it just doesnt switch screens on apply - dnding the mini-monitors
around seems pot-luck on a good day - after much clicking, selecting and
dragging i finally got it to configure hdmi to be left of lvds... but this
isn't working well right now - not well enough to go gold. th crash - can be
fixed. the resizing. can be fixed. i agree with the monitor branding thing.
also mine are squashed and ultra-wide. but thats gfx. the real issues are in
this actually working well enough to iron out the lesser issues.
leif - right now it still needs work. the ui and overall direction is right.
now it actuallly needs to work beyond the roll some dice point. well.. here
is also the bit where i ask you... does it work solidly for you? can u configre
screens to be left/right/above/below of others reliably with a quick drag +
apply or select from radio buttons? because it definitely doesnt work reliably
for me :(

It's more a workaround until things are properly fixed in the server and those versions of the server are well distributed. An explicit poll-trigger is also a nice idea. But I would like to put it into advanced ui or alike and keep the dialog as simple as possible. Probably it's already too much as it is right now. I am really looking forward to using elm in e18 to redo it. As for the endusers: They probably won't care why the internals are like they are. I don't know about the costs of calling an output related ecore_x function once per second or so. Maybe devilhorns or raster know them/can argue here.

Did you consider giving a key combination or widget so user can tell: hey, please... try now... instead of polling in a timely manner? It really depends on what you want in the end. Having a gadget in the shelf which allows to start the screen configure dialog is good. This obviously would allow to start polling the information once the user hinted to start the configuration. Something I personally would like to see _long-term_ would be a small notification when a _unknown_ monitor is _attached_. This is only possible with polling all the time. Two different scenarios. For known and attached monitors I would go with the last saved configuration for the monitor. If none is found, again small notification. Anyway, thats all long term and we need to sort out the basic issues first. All material for incremental updates from a working version. Intrusive notifications are also a personal pet idea. ;) regards Stefan Schmidt -- RSA#174; Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now#33; http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 ___ enlightenment-devel mailing list enlightenment-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/enlightenment-devel

The only way e17 gets them right now is to either restart e or switch to a terminal (or back). Gnome, xrandr and KDE poll for events. As we already discussed, we will also implement such a polling strategy. Need to find out why it does not detect my external monitor the next days. Try switching to/from a terminal ctrl-alt-fx This trick did made my monitor connected via VGA showing up. Still not when docked and attached over DVI. But first problems first. leif - right now it still needs work. the ui and overall direction is right. now it actuallly needs to work beyond the roll some dice point. well.. here is also the bit where i ask you... does it work solidly for you? can u configre screens to be left/right/above/below of others reliably with a quick drag + apply or select from radio buttons? because it definitely doesnt work reliably for me :( That worked fine for me: Policy+rearrange+resolution switching. Else I wouldn't have submitted. With the now found monitor I'm still not able to do any placements thought. dragging it around or trying to set above or such as well as setting the resolution does not work here. More testing tomorrow. Question: We agree on the fact that policy is meant to jump in when a new monitor is connected, right? Not like Monitor A is already connected and enabled. I want monitor A right of B, so I select monitor A and click on the 'right-of' policy and expect it to move? I would expect exactly this to happen. I see the two monitors in the config dialog, either drag them around or select left of and it should act accordingly when pressing apply. I don't have an external monitor at home for testing anymore. I am of course looking forward to fix remaining bugs. I will have to do it at my university's pool rooms (hopefully the monitorconnectors are still VGA and unlocked). Maybe I can help out here for some wider range testing. I still have access to the university lab with something like 5 or more different monitors I can connect over VGA. For DVI I could take my dock with me and at home I can also tests against a 46 LED TV over HDMI. Pretty sure the will be some dragons in some of them. :) Did
Re: [E-devel] conf_randr - A Randr dialog for e17
Hello. Just found some time to test out this patch against todays svn. A small conflict due to the addition of the taskbar happens during applying it. Trivial to fix. More interesting is a segfault when edje_cc builds the .edj. A backtrace points to ecore_mainloop and friends used for the SVG stuff. And indeed, converting the svg to png make edje_cc happy. (separate mail for the issue) On Wed, 2011-10-19 at 21:37, Leif Middelschulte wrote: find attached another version of the patch. It works here, but I don't have the ressources to test it properly. Known issues: Frontend (conf_randr): - not pushed into e/demodulized yet - dialog has to be resized manually for displays to be proper positioned Thats a bit confusing at the first time. The display should be changed to something vendor neutral btw. :) I only see one output here which seems to be the LVDS of my notebook. The external monitor connected over DVI and from xrandr detected as HDMI2 seems to be missing completely. Problems with EDID parsing or such? Where should I look for debug infos for this? The setup is a Lenove X220 with a docking station and one monitor connected over DVI. I can test with VGA the next days as well. xrandr is happy with detecting it and I'm able to set it up as multi-monitor with it. - segv when closing the dialog because of resize callback of the arrengement smart class are called after the dialog's data is freed Does not happen here. - missing icons for policies and orientations - missing policy for ask what to do on connection Backend (e_randr): - missing polling backend for events - setup storage seems to fail, but should be fixable soon(TM). The popup if one wants to keep the settings seems also to small. The second counter is not completely visible. The storage button did not trigger any event and keep and restore have been not always working for me. Besides that it looks quite nice.

This patch provides a randr dialog as a all-in-one solution as raster requested. This might render it kind of useless on devices with low resolution, but anyway, I did it. What's there: - global monitor connection policy adjustment (what shall happen, if you connect a new monitor) - rotation - orientation - enabling disabled monitors - monitor arrangement - listing in the modules dialog fixed What's not there: - demodulization (direct integration into e) - per output monitor connection policy - save/restore - output dependend window policies - display monitor picture within dialog. (Icon already there, edje not adjusted to use it yet) As I don't have access to a second monitor atm, I publish the state of development, so people can see the progress and comment on its functionality. I would be really interested whether the enabling of formerly disabled monitors works. 2011/8/9 Carsten Haitzler ras...@rasterman.com: On Mon, 8 Aug 2011 22:53:50 +0200 Leif Middelschulte leif.middelschu...@gmail.com said: 2011/8/8 Carsten Haitzler ras...@rasterman.com: On Sun, 31 Jul 2011 02:59:21 +0200 Leif Middelschulte leif.middelschu...@gmail.com said: review (yes i know the cover things you say don't work or aren't done yet etc.): Thanks :-) 1.

I think it's because of wrong naming, or changes to the module API. Could be. Depending on how other stuff works out today I may also have a look myself. Yes, feel free to provide a patch ;-) I poked around with it but was not able to find something. As far as I can see the module api has not changed. The only thing I spotted is that the parameter for e_configure_registry_category_add() and e_configure_registry_item_add() are overlapping in numbers and names. No idea how the registry works here and if this could be a problem. Yeah, probably it's some naming issue. Maybe in the translation(s). Do you have the conf_display module loaded when working with conf_randr? Yes, I have it installed and loaded. regards Stefan Schmidt -- Leif -- Got Input? Slashdot Needs You.

I planned to adjust e_int_config_display so it works with CRTCs (RandR 1.2) instead of just the primary screen (RandR 1.1) as it does right now. I won't support RandR 1.1 in that dialog anymore. People whose drivers just support RandR 1.1 shall stay with the current dialog. So actually we need a new name like 'conf_display2' or rename current dialog to e_int_config_single_display and the new one e_int_config_multiple_displays it really should support the whole range - 1.1, 1.2 etc. - a user shouldnt have to switch dialogs to choose what version of a spec is supported. they have no clue which one is supported. they just want it to work. :) But randr = and 1.1 work completly different. There is not code sharing. That's why I pliedge for leaving the dialog (conf_display) as is and just pop it up instead of integrating it into an else useless dialog (conf_randr), making the code more complicated than it needs to be. I went that way before and it's double effort without any advantage. As I proposed above: if (randr 1.2) return conf_display; else return conf_randr; //with conf_display2 integrated If you can point out a good reason why to rewrite most of the old craft, I'll do it. But else I see more benefit in getting other things done. you are thinking like the programmer and not the USER. the USER doesnt know ifd their driver does 1.1 or 1.2 and they shouldnt NEED to know. it is the job of the app (e) to figure that out and present the appropriate UI for their situation AND to use the appropriate protocol. it is not the users job to try and figure out which protocol they have and then go choose the right config dialog for that protocol. it is the job of code in e to fgure that out and switch internally as appropriate and presetn at the ui level the features you can configure given that protocol version that our driver happens to do that we DISCOVEr at runtime. Okay, I think we're arguing on different things. 1.) You're right about the dialog's behaviour. It should provide the user with a dialog resembling his driver's capabilities, no matter what they are. 2.) I tried to communicate: conf_display - conf_display1 conf_randr - conf_display //with integrated conf_display2 (for randr =1.2) and conf_display1 conf_display will then be displaying either the current dialog (if ran on randr 1.2) or the new all-in-wonder dialog if supported. Is that okay?

Hey, thanks for testing the patch :-) See comments in their context, respectively. Am 30.07.2011 um 00:15 schrieb Stefan Schmidt ste...@datenfreihafen.org: Hello.

Is the any magic I'm missing to get the module show up? Its installed in the same folder as all the other E modules already checked that. Yeah, that's a weird issue I also faced. I need to fix it. See whether it shows up in the system modules list. If not use 'enlightenment_remote -module-load conf_randr' and '-module-enable conf_randr' for now. I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. I think it's because of wrong naming, or changes to the module API. regards, Leif regards, Stefan Schmidt --- --- --- - Got Input? Slashdot Needs You. Take our quick survey online.
