[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 591104] Re: wrong xinerama scroll/pan using two cards three monitors
Sorry Ian, what I meant to say was multi-monitor support is more than a wish-list item. Particularly since someone has gone to all the trouble of actually writing the code to support this in the first place (Xinerama) but then someone else deprecated it without replacing it with a working alternative. This doesn't fit with my understanding of the word deprecated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591104 Title: wrong xinerama scroll/pan using two cards three monitors ___ 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 591104] Re: wrong xinerama scroll/pan using two cards three monitors
Again, I can only apologise. At least you (Dan) and I (James) have a working system now, though how long it will be before Xinerama is broken since no one is testing to see if their changes break it I can't imagine. There seem to be no end of people on various fora with this problem and no-one seems to be offering even the Triaged solution I have cobbled together. Bryce, I wasn't asking you to spend any time on it, I just disagree that the multi-monitor support offered by Windows and Mac OS X is more than a wish-list item, especially since someone has already done the work. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591104 Title: wrong xinerama scroll/pan using two cards three monitors ___ 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 591104] Re: wrong xinerama scroll/pan using two cards three monitors
Hi, I have now fixed this problem for me. Looking at what happens I believe the problem is the Xinerama is designed for stitching multiple monitors together and so is not very good at stitching together monitors which have already been stitched together. I will publish a full walk through once I've got it working fully on my system (and not just the live CD) but it is fairly straightforward. As I am sure you have seen elsewhere on the internet it is suggested that you need to create a device for each port on your graphics cards and give the devices the same BusId (but different identifiers) and then andd the Screen 0 and Screen 1 options to differentiate between the ports. I have found that this doesn't quite work. You also need to add Option ZaphodHeads name of port #e.g. DVI-0, DVI-1, DVI-2, VGA-0, VDA-1 etc Then it should work fine. A copy of my fully working xorg.conf file is available at http://www.etothepii.co.uk/xorg.conf What this does (which you will see if you leave xinerma off) is allow the creation of completely seperate X sessions. So in my configuration with xinerama off I get 4 seperate x sessions each of which is capable of having the mouse in it but between which windows can not be dragged. As a consequence when you enable Xinerama it is only being asked to stitch single monitors together and so works fine. -- wrong xinerama scroll/pan using two cards three monitors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/591104 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg 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

Further I disagree it wasn't in 9.10. In many ways the current scenario is less bad than what happened in 9.10 which just ignored what would be minito 2 and monitors 3 and 4 did not work at all, that is with the same xorg.conf that causes teh current problem in 10.04.
