I have both Ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10 installed in different partitions on
this Dell Latitude C640 laptop (i386). I keep both fully updated and
ever since the beginning(9.10beta), OpenOffice.org Impress with
presenter-console has worked flawlessly under 9.04 but under 9.10 the
presenter-console (1.1.0+OOo3.1.1-5ubuntu1) only works correctly if the
secondary display has smaller number of pixels than the primary display.
[Ubuntu 9.10]
uname -a
Linux test-laptop 2.6.31-16-generic #53-Ubuntu SMP Tue Dec 8 04:01:29 UTC 2009
i686 GNU/Linux
In testing with the secondary display having a larger pixel dimensions
than the primary display and the slide show configured to appear on the
secondary display, I noticed that the presenter console appears in front
of the slide show on the secondary display sized to occupy the correct
dimensions for full screen on the primary display. If the slide show is
configured to appear on the primary display or the displays have the
same pixel dimensions, the presenter console fills the secondary display
and slide show is obscured beneath it. Neither is displayed on the
primary display.
Testing Results

640x480 Fails Works Works
800x600 Fails Fails Works
1024x768 Fails Fails Fails
1360x768 Fails Fails Fails
I prefer the higher resolution modes on the projector as the image is
magnified many times the laptop screen size and thus profits more from
higher resolution than the presenter-console! This is the reason I am
not upgrading to Ubuntu 9.10 for my work partitions, yet.
I downloaded the source code (apt-get source openoffice.org-presenter-
console; apt-get build-dep openoffice.org-presenter-console;) and found
what looked like a display indexing problem but haven't figured out how
to build this beast in order to test my changes. Could someone point me
to a page detailing the blessed way to download source and rebuild the
presenter-console package? It seems the OOo build process is different
from what I'm used to for other Ubuntu packages.
