Package: libxosd2 Version: 2.2.14-1.3 Severity: normal On my laptop (in fact all laptops using the nvidia driver), the external display is unfortunately identified as the primary display. With the default --with-xinerama, the osd display goes to the primary display, whereas, I think it should go to the always present internal display. On my other systems, I've found it just works best going to the left hand display, ie, with geometry around +x+y for some y and some small x.
All this can be achieved just by turning off xinerama with --without-xinerama. What would really be best though is to have the geometry or the xinerama display number[1] of some other means of encoding the position we want the OSD, user configurable for all users of libxosd, via a dotfile in the user's home directory. Allow as many geometries as the user wants, so they might even specify that the text appears duplicated on both screen 0 and 1 via geometries with both eg. +20+960 and +1300+960. [1] I think xinerama display number really is the wrong thing to do. On laptops particularly, this will change. I tried first modifying the source to go to xinerama screen number 1, but as soon as the external monitor disappeared, naturally xosd-bin is going to crash because there is no screen 1. A raw X geometry makes so much more sense. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU, LC_CTYPE=en_AU (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages libxosd2 depends on: ii libc6 2.6.1-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libx11-6 2:1.0.3-7 X11 client-side library ii libxext6 1:1.0.3-2 X11 miscellaneous extension librar libxosd2 recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
