[Bug 420225] Re: New splash looks wrong on dual-screen setup
Confirmed as regression on upgrade from Jaunty to Karmic with NVidia Twinview. Jaunty showed the splash/throbber/login on primary display only. Karmic shows login on primary display, but splash/throbber (before and after login) appears split arbitrarily over both displays. -- New splash looks wrong on dual-screen setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420225 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 420225] Re: New splash looks wrong on dual-screen setup
@Cody, that's not going to fix this bug. With nVidia in twinview you have one big screen so only one screen 0, no screen 1 at all. As a result when you restrict xsplash to screen 0, you get it spanning over both screens. So for me nothing looks to have changed at all. Screen 0: minimum 3360 x 1050, current 3360 x 1050, maximum 3360 x 1050 default connected 3360x1050+0+0 0mm x 0mm 3360x1050 50.0*51.0 This is two ViewSonic 1680x1050 screens hanging off one nVidia 7900GT card. xorg.conf attached. I don't know how gnome-panel determines how many physical screens there are, but it might be worth a look at the code because my gnome-panels only occupy one of the two screens, along the top and bottom. They don't span both displays as xsplash does. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf.txt" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/32738577/xorg.conf.txt -- New splash looks wrong on dual-screen setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420225 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This is partially fixed in trunk now. It should display xsplash on monitor #0 only.

[Bug 420225] Re: New splash looks wrong on dual-screen setup
Can it play on both screens? Sometimes it's not exactly obvious which monitor is "primary" or not to the user. gnome-display-properties doesn't even number the screens so the only way you'd know is if you ran xrandr from the terminal. -- New splash looks wrong on dual-screen setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420225 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Re: [Bug 420225] Re: New splash looks wrong on dual-screen setup
I agree.

Proposed solution: Xsplash should be displayed on primary screen only.

I think what we'll probably do is to put xsplash on the primary display only, and have the second one be black. -- New splash looks wrong on dual-screen setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420225 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

@Ruben - Sorry about that... I was considering the logo to be part of the throbber. I agree, the logo shouldn't be split. With regards to the other two options, they are certainly a way to get things done, but would be sub-optimal from a user experience perspective(IMHO). -- New splash looks wrong on dual-screen setup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/420225 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I agree with you, only I think it would look strange if the ubuntu logo is cut in two and the throbber isn't. There are two more options I think we have: only show xsplash on one screen or mirror it on both screens. I have attached an image of how it looks now on 2560x1024 Twinview.

>From a user experience standpoint, having xsplash and GDM be aware that there are two screens is a good thing, in my opinion. The actual issue is that the important information of the screen ( the throbber) is being cut is two. A much better proposal would be to have the throbber centered on one screen, while having the image behind the throbber covering both screens.
