[Bug 489765] Re: xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly
I have now reverted my gnome-settings-daemon version to 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 and it behaves like this: If I connect external monitor to my laptop nothing happens, if I run xrandr -q command or open display settings applet it restores my last configuration which I have used with external monitor connected. If I boot the system with external monitor connected after logging in GDM it switches xrandr configuration to last configuration used with external monitor. In version is 2.28.1-0ubuntu2: If I connect external monitor to my laptop nothing happens, if I run xrandr -q command or open display settings applet it switches external monitor on together with internal monitor in side by side configuration. If I boot the system with external monitor connected after logging in GDM both monitors stay switched on in mirrored mode. I prefer the behavior of the version 2.28.1-0ubuntu1 because it is more flexible and lets user decide more, besides that new behavior crashes my x-server because it switches to side by side configuration when external monitor is connected and this crashes my xserver when compiz is activated. So I think it is not bug but the behavior was changed by developers, it would be nice when there could be more user configuration options for xrandr plugin. I don't know why external monitor is not detected by gnome-settings- daemon when it is connected is it perhaps graphic driver or X11 problem, should I report it there?

[Bug 489765] Re: xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly
I have found out that my compiz in side by side configuration of monitors crash is already known bug of intel graphic driver as you said before. New behavior of gnome-settings-daemon seems to be rather new feature then a bug. So I have marked this bug as invalid.

[Bug 489765] Re: xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly
1. Yes it is always when xrandr plugin is activated it causes wrong behavior of xrandr at least in my configuration, I have no possibility to check it with other laptops. 2. Follow this steps: 1. Get a laptop. 2. After it has booted. 3. connect external monitor. 4. Open terminal and type xrandr -q and press enter. 5. You should see that external monitor is activated together with internal monitor side by side in new virtual desktop. 6. deactivate xrandr plugin torough gconf editor. 6. Disconnect the external monitor, wait some seconds and repeat steps 3 to 4 and you will see that now only the data of connected monitors is displayed without activating external monitor or changing any settings like it should be.

[Bug 489765] Re: xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly
gnome-settings-daemon should auto-configure outputs, by enabling the external monitor when you connect it. However, you seem to suggest that is not happening until you run xrandr -q. Am I understanding that correctly? -- xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 489765] Re: xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly
Yes, when I connect the monitor nothing happens until I have run xrandr -q. Same happens if I start monitor settings tool from system-settings menu. I assume that the monitor setting application uses xrandr command in background so that same behavior is shown by it. -- xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 489765] Re: xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly
I want to clarify that I mean with external monitor is activated that external monitor is switched on and shows a left part of virtual desktop together with internal monitor showing left part of virtual desktop and not that it is enabled in monitor settings tool. Same behavior I described in Replay #2 in answer to the 2. question occurs if you open monitor settings tool instead of running xrandr -q in step 4. -- xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 489765] Re: xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly
I've been looking at a separate issue recently which seems to be caused by no RRScreenChangeNotify event being emitted when an external display is connected, but only being emitted when a client makes a call to some Randr function. That seems to be the same issue here, and that would actually make it a Xorg or video driver issue. What should happen is that gnome-settings-daemon should get the event when you connect your monitor, and autoconfigure it (ie, switch the display on) if there is no previous configuration for that hardware layout. However, that isn't happening here and gnome-settings-daemon gets the event later on when you manually call xrandr instead. Thats not really a gnome-settings-daemon bug though. Do you have a key for changing video modes (such as Fn+F7)? I suspect that gnome-settings-daemon will crash if you press that after connecting your external monitor. If so, then that's actually a related issue too -- xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 489765] Re: xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly
I can switch video modes with Fn+F4 button without problems after I have connected external monitor, there are no crashes happening before I cycle to the left to right connected monitors which crashes my driver but only when compiz is started with metacity there is no crash happening. This odd behavior it started happening after latest updates I installed. Before that behavior was different, when I have connected the monitor nothing happened before I pressed fn+F4 button, that would only mirror internal monitor on external and it would stay like that after repeated fn+F4 presses. First I needed to start monitor settings tool with that i could then make settings that I wanted and they would then be saved and reused on system start. For me external monitor never was switched on automatically by the gnome-settings-daemon only enabled but it stayed off until I have pressed fn+F4 button or activated the external monitor in monitor setting tool, it was like that also with ubuntu version prior to karmic. Now it behaves like I described. -- xrandr plugin makes xrandr behave wrongly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/489765 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
