Xinerama as in the exact implementation of multi-screen X displays may be long-gone.
Xinerama the X protocol extension and method for applications to query the actual displays' geometry is AFAIK alive, and used by many non- Xinerama multi display desktop implementations. Now, I'm not certain if xrandr 1.2 is meant to replace this functionality of the Xinerama extension and client libraries also (partially seeing as I don't know if the Xinerama extension can cope with the dynamic nature of xrandr configuration). But I know that this bug persists in 8.10. I just tried gdmflexiserver --xnest and while Metacity restricted the Xnest window size to the width of a single screen, that window did not show the whole Xnest desktop; indeed, the Xnest window had to be dragged significantly wider (than one monitor) for the whole Xnest area to show. So at least as of 8.10, this is still very much an issue for anyone utilizing gdmflexiserver in xnest mode (and xnest users in general, though it's easier to explicitly set the desktop size using it directly). What I don't know is if it's fixed in later releases or whether the Xinerama client libraries are the correct way to go about it anymore. Anyway, it's an upstream thing, certainly... -- Xnest default size messed up with Xinerama https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/9379 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
