[Bug 779921] Re: Unity makes usage of dual monitors impossible
I'm not sure if this is the place to report this, but this bug seems relevant to the problem I'm experiencing. Using raring beta, laptop thinkpad t400s with intel video and external monitor. Here are the steps to reproduce it: 1. I'm using the monitors in extended mode, no duplication. 2. I'm closing the lid of the laptop, thus the external becomes the main monitor. 3. Starting a video in full screen. 4. Opening the lid. The video driver freezes, with scratches and random colors on screen, and keeps frozen even if I close again the lid, or disconnect the external monitor. No effect. The graphical env needs a restart to fix this. I definitely had no such problems with quantal. Also, upon boot with dual monitor setup, after logging into the system, the screen stays shared between the two monitors(using half of each monitor) for a few seconds, and then gets ok on the both monitors. Not a critical issue, but this was introduced in raring. I haven't seen such issues in quantal too. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779921 Title: Unity makes usage of dual monitors impossible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/779921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Could you try if that's still an issue in newer versions of Ubuntu? ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete ** Changed in: unity Importance: Undecided = Low ** Changed in: unity Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779921 Title: Unity makes usage of dual monitors impossible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/779921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

It seems to be fixed now. I tried last week with same netbook and 2 different external monitors in 1280x1024 (taking care that total virtual screen is not larger than 2048x2048) I haven't experienced this problem anymore. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779921 Title: Unity makes usage of dual monitors impossible To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/779921/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

UPDATE external monitor display is not corrupted with KWin, XFCE and Gnome in 1024x768 and 1280x1024 but is corrupted in Unity. However, when using monitor in resolution 1024x768 and 1280x1024, playing videos in VLC, totem, xine, mplayer, mozilla-flash is extremely slow (below one frame per second). This might be related. It could be a regression in the Intel drivers since this was not a problem in ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10. astro@lutetia:~$ glxinfo |grep -i rend direct rendering: Yes OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Intel(R) 945GME GEM 20100330 DEVELOPMENT x86/MMX/SSE2 astro@lutetia:~$ xvinfo |grep maximum maximum XvImage size: 2048 x 2048 maximum XvImage size: 2048 x 2048 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779921 Title: Unity makes usage of dual monitors impossible -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 779921] Re: Unity makes usage of dual monitors impossible
same with Compaq Mini 110c 945GME graphics. also the external monitor can be used alone but only up to 800x600: the screen is partially corrupted at higher resolutions. However it can be used in 1280x1024 on standard Gnome. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779921 Title: Unity makes usage of dual monitors impossible -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
