[Russell Smith]

Hi Jurik,

I'm unsure why the linux kernel was added to this bug after the compiz
fix was released.  What issues are you experiencing with this bug?

Thanks

[Bug 123205] Re: Wrongly placed maximized window with cloned display

[Kev]

I can also confirm this bug with my laptop with intel 945gm. This bug exists in 
Gutsy as well as now in Hardy beta (all updates!).
Laptop resolution is 1280*768 and external monitor (vga) is 1680*1050.
This bug also concerns all compiz effects, for example the zoom effect (see 
attached picture). 
It is a really strange problem.

Is there a way to set a virtual screen in the bigger resolution for the smaller 
display, which is activated as soon as the external monitor (with bigger size) 
is plugged in and activated?
I've seen that a time ago, when you move your mouse out of the smaller screen, 
the smaller screen moves.
Maybe that would be a really good workaround for the bug, because you see on 
both displays what you are doing.

Just for the record, I'm experiencing this same issue on a Sony Vaio
with an NVIDIA GeForce Go 7600.

In fact, I filled a bug report not being aware of the previous existence
of this one (https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/208835). Therefore, my bug
was marked as duplicate. Sorry about that, should have checked before.

[Bug 123205] Re: Wrongly placed maximized window with cloned display

[Andreas Schildbach]

Here is another workaround: Instead of using compiz, use the new
compositing mode of Metacity in Hardy. Go back to "no visual effects",
then execute "gconftool-2 -s --type bool
/apps/metacity/general/compositing_manager true". The effects are very
similar to "normal" mode, and it does not choke up with cloned displays.

[Bug 123205] Re: Wrongly placed maximized window with cloned display

[Travis Watkins]

No, it just has a bad solution to this hard problem. You have two
outputs overlapping each other (the small screen is inside the large
screen's area) and it can't say "this window is on this monitor" because
they're on both monitors. The most obvious answer would be "whatever
monitor the top-left corner is in" but I can think of a few cases where
that doesn't work. The next most obvious is "whatever one the window is
most in" but then once you get it to maximize to the larger monitor the
smaller one is completely filled by this window so that one falls over.
I think this is how compiz works now.

[Fred]

See this bug in Hardy Alpha 5 (with an intel GMA X3100).
As a workaround, if you doesn't use the internal display of your laptop, you 
can switch of the internal with an xrandr command (xrandr --output LVDS --off) 
and restart compiz. After that compiz works fine when maximizing. It also shows 
that Compiz doesn't use the internal display resolution if the internal display 
is turned off : Maybe Compiz uses the resolution of the first screen it found ?

Same problem on my external monitor 1680x1050: the image is not centered
.. like ten black centimeters on left side.

I have not any graphic effect actived, any way I have follow the instructions: 
* Uncheck "Detect Outputs";
* In "Ouputs": 1680x1050+0+0

I have to hack the i180 on every reboot with:

915resolution 3a 1680 1050 8 1840 1080
915resolution 4b 1680 1050 16 1840 1080
915resolution 5a 1680 1050 32 1840 1080

I obtain the resolution but the image is not centered.

Still present as of (almost) alpha 4. This is a pretty terrible bug for
people who use projectors. It makes presentations exceptionally
difficult as when you go full screen for the presentation it only covers
the smaller desktop.

[Bug 123205] Re: Wrongly placed maximized window with cloned display

[Jonas Jørgensen]

solution from 
(I haven't tested it):

"Problem solved. Here's how to:

- Install Compiz Advanced Desktop Setting;
- Open it and go to "General Options", then "Display Settings";
- Uncheck "Detect Outputs";
- In "Ouputs", edit the resolution (mine was set at 800x600x0x0) to your 
external display's resolution (mine is now 1050x1680).

This should solve the problem."

This issue is still present on Gutsy Beta, on its default configuration!

I am attaching an image that shows a "maximized" Firefox. Here are 3
easy steps to reproduce:

1. Boot Live-CD or freshly installed Ubuntu, Login.
2. Open Firefox
3. Maximize Firefox
