Please try this patch against xscreensaver 5.05 and let me know if it
helps?
http://www.jwz.org/xscreensaver/xscreensaver-randr-patch.txt
(Please don't distribute builds incorporating this patch -- it's not
tested well enough yet. Consider it a dangerous alpha.)
Things I'm interested in hearing about:
- Systems with multiple monitors. Do all monitors go
black when xscreensaver activates?
- Adding and removing monitors while the screen is not
blanked. Does it look right once the screen blanks?
- Adding and removing monitors while the screen is
already blanked. Does everything reconfigure properly?
- Changing the resolution of the monitor(s) using the
"xrandr" command.
- Does it correctly realize which monitors are actually
attached to the system and in use?
- Does it work with multiple X screens (the :0.1 style)?
- Does it work when using the old Xinerama extension
instead of RANDR.
- Does it work using the VidMode extension to zoom and pan
around (that is, "monitor" and "desktop" are different
resolutions, via Ctrl-Alt-KP_Plus and KP_Minus.)
There is a bug if:
- It ever crashes (obviously!)
- There is ever a situation where a screen is not
completely covered by the xscreensaver windows.
(Unless two screens are configured to overlap).
Thanks!
