No activity on this for a while, but I would like to mention that this bug is still present in 11.10. Unity now works in dualhead.

[Bug 576288] Re: second screen in dualhead setup doesn't refresh properly until reconfigured
I tried Option "EXAPixmaps" "off", but with no change. However, further experimentation has revealed that if you use Monitor Preferences to set both monitors to 1280x1024, the screens both behave perfectly - no trails, no weird colour blocks, everything properly refreshed. Not really an answer as I need to use my screens at max res ie laptop=1920 and Samsung ext LCD=1600x1200, but this must be a clue to what is wrong ? Looks like maybe a video memory addressing problem ?

NO! Only EXA Pixmaps!!!

Natty ships with the r600g (g for gallium) now, as opposed to the r600 (with no gallium) that we shipped in maverick. r600g afaik does not have a non-EXA alternative, so you'd need to boot the old driver to play with that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576288 Title: second screen in dualhead setup doesn't refresh properly until reconfigured -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm not sure how I would disable EXA.

I don't have a test machine but has anyone tried disabling EXA Pixmaps with the radeon driver?

[Bug 576288] Re: second screen in dualhead setup doesn't refresh properly until reconfigured
Interestingly, gnome-screenshot doesn't see the display that doesn't refresh properly. Whereas before the screenshot would be super-wide and cover both displays, now it's regular 4:3 and covers only the display that refreshes properly. Maybe that somehow is helpful to those that know the code? (I noticed because this bug allows Compiz's Wobbly Windows to make some beautiful trails, and I wanted a screenshot. ;)) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576288 Title: second screen in dualhead setup doesn't refresh properly until reconfigured -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am also experiencing this bug in 11.04 on my Dell Inspiron 9300 (ATI Radeon mobility X300, M22) using the open source ATI drivers. The bug only affects the repainting of the background in the main (ie. laptop) display - active windows within the screen redraw themselves fine when overlapped and then un-overlapped. The external monitor behaves properly. It may be unconnected, but since upgrading to 11.04 when I try to run Tux Racer (etracer) from a term, to test my graphics rendering speed, if fails to run with error message: "*** etracer error: Couldn't initialize video: Couldn't find matching GLX visual (Resource temporarily unavailable)" The Unity support test output is as follows:- ~$ /usr/lib/nux/unity_support_test -p OpenGL vendor string: X.Org R300 Project OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on ATI RV370 OpenGL version string: 2.1 Mesa 7.10.2 Not software rendered:yes Not blacklisted: yes GLX fbconfig: yes GLX texture from pixmap: yes GL npot or rect textures: yes GL vertex program:yes GL fragment program: yes GL vertex buffer object: yes GL framebuffer object:yes GL version is 1.4+: yes Unity supported: yes -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/576288 Title: second screen in dualhead setup doesn't refresh properly until reconfigured -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This same problem indeed still occurs in natty.
