xorg and dualscreen

magicrhesus · 2008-12-03 07:48:00

Hello,

I have a strange problem since I updated xorg, in fact I'm using a laptop and a 20" in TwinView (8400M GS) on xfce. No problem to activate the dual screen by the nvidia-settings tool (like I've always done) but when I have my two screens working, one of them is 'limited' to use around 2/3 of a window that I drag to it... It's really strange because it's relative and not absolute.

My laptop is in 1280x800
My 20" is in 1600x1050 and is the primary device so it's on the laptop that I have a fractal of my window

my xorg.conf :

    Identifier     "Layout0"
    Screen      0  "Screen0"

I identified the problem that is xfwm4, in fact if I kill xfwm4 and I restore it everything is fine but not from the beginning ?
Any ideas ?

Yep - I had the same issue and it is caused by a change in gtk2: http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/12315

Ok thanks, I'll be patient till it's resolved

or you could use this as an opportunity to learn the use of ABS, makepkg and making small adjustments to PKGBUILDs.
