[Bug 387500] New: Resolution Applet doesn't support desired layout

Sorry. I run a dual-monitor setup, with an external monitor attached to a laptop. In an ideal world, the external monitor would run at 1600x1200 and the laptop would run at 1400x1050 (native resolutions). However, that results in "losing" my cursor, as this results in the virtual screen: +===========+=========+ | | | | A | B | | +=========+ | | C | +===========+ - - - - + Monitor A is the 1600x1200, B is smaller. The result is that if my cursor is at the bottom of area A and I move it right (into area C), it's invisible. C is a somewhat large area, and if it gets there I may need to move the cursor a fair bit to find it again. This is annoying. Request 1: The cursor shouldn't be able to go "below" the visible area. It should instead be "bumped" to the floor of the current area. Thus, if my cursor is at the bottom of area A and I move it right, it should NOT move into area C but instead should be at the bottom of area B. Due to the above, in openSUSE 10.3 I changed A to also be 1400x1050, so that the heights were consistent. This is no longer possible in 11.0 (see #387498). Due to #387498, my current setup is: +========+=========+ | | | | A | B | +========+ | +=========+ A=external monitor, 1280x1024. B=laptop monitor, 1400x1050. I'd prefer A to be larger, so using gnome-display-properties I set A to have a resolution of 1600x1200. The result I expected: +===========+=========+ | | | | A | B | | +=========+ | | +===========+ i.e. B is immediately next to A. The result I *actually* got: +=========+=========+ | | | | | A |C| B | | +=========+ | | +===========+ i.e. B *overlaps* A, so that area C is duplicated across both screens. This is very bizarre and unexpected, especially since gnome-display-properties doesn't show any overlap at all. Request #2: Please allow the resulting area to resemble the former layout and not the latter (overlapping is bad). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

As for "make the mouse bump the edge instead of disappearing", that's a problem in the X server. I'll see what to do about this. For the lack of available resolutions, we'll track that bug in #387498. Finally, for the overlapping problem, could you please provide these: - The output of "xrandr -q" - Please attach your ~/.config/monitors.xml - Just for reference, a screenshot of gnome-display-properties Thanks! -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
