[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 563100] Re: Mouse movement corrupted with Xinerama enabled
I have the same problem when Xinerama is enabled on NVidia drivers using 2 nVidia 9600GT display adapters and 4 displays. Two of the displays are pivot rotated and two are not rotated. I'm using ratpoison as window manager so it's not related to window managers. When I disable Xinerama the mouse works OK but I cannot throw applications from display to another. I love Ubuntu, but display system has always been perhaps the weakest links of it. On Ubuntu 9.04 NVidia display driver (or X or Xinerama or XRandr) crashed the X every few days. On Ubuntu 9.10 there were mouse jumping problems and not always possible to move mouse from screen to screen and in the first releases there was mouse visible on all four screens at the same time and now Ubuntu 10.04 has this new problem where it is impossible to move mouse from screen to screen using Xinerama. I know it's still only Beta 2 but because of history of unsolved problems I'm really really afraid that this will never be fixed. -- Mouse movement corrupted with Xinerama enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 563100] Re: Mouse movement corrupted with Xinerama enabled
Bryce, what do you mean by functional workaround? I though nouveau driver didnt support multiple cards or am I missing something? The issue does not occur for default configurations... True but with default configuration Gnome uses only one display and with settings (using the gnome tool) I managed it to use only two out of four displays. For some reason X crashed and failed to restart so I switched to NVidia drivers. Too bad there is issue with the Xinerama. In case someone finds a way to use four displays (two cards) in Ubuntu 10.04 properly I'd really like to hear about that. I haven't found a solution so far. I even tried to get libxinerama from Debian Testing (v1.1-3) with no luck - mouse keeps jumping. libxrandr2 seems to be in same version so no luck with that neither. Ubuntu 10.04 Beta 2 release notes says Because of the new alternatives system used for nvidia driver packages, the nvidia installer from NVIDIA's website currently doesn't work so I havent tried NVidia drivers from NVidia's website. -- Mouse movement corrupted with Xinerama enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/563100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
