When you have a dual-monitor setup, with monitors of different resolutions (A and B): +===========+=========+ | | | | A | B | | +=========+ | | C +===========+ Then if the mouse is in B, and you move it down, the mouse doesn't stop at the bottom edge of B. Instead, it "disappears" in what would be the rectangle C. The mouse should stop at the edges of monitors instead of disappearing into the larger virtual rectangle. -- 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.

IIRC RANDR 1.2 (e.g. intel), NVIDIA and MergedFB (e.g. mga) behave this way. The old Xinerama way (still also supported by mga driver e.g.) behaved differently as you would expect it. This is a known issue and IMHO it should be configurable. But at the moment nobody is working on this and I don't expect this to change anytime soon. I remember this having discussed already some years ago (RANDR 1.2 was not involved at this time of course). And IIRC even on Windows you have different behaviours depending on the hardware/driver and the behaviour is *not* configurable. We could keep this one open as enhancement, but I'm afraid the result would be the same as WONTFIX, which I chose for now. -- 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.
