@Jakob: yes, the limit is 2048x2048 But 2048 is the maximum size of a texture. that means that texture CAN BE 2048. 2049 is 1px over the maximum. Anyone with 945 can test it with intrepid live CD. Compiz WILL WORK on 2048x786 dual screen. This bug is not about disabling compiz at 2048, but about some mathematical problem with maximum size of a texture. I'd bet somebody on i965 would have the same problem on 4096 size of a screen. -- [i945gm] dual screen not working with virtual resolution enabled: just a blank screen with a mouse pointer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 383345] Re: [i945gm] dual screen not working with virtual resolution enabled: just a blank screen with a mouse pointer
I found out that in lucid, it is only a resolution of exactly 2048px in total, which is a problem. If the total width is greater, for example 1280 + 800 = 2080px, then compiz is automatically replaced by metacity and things work fine. While in karmic it is everything = 2048px that won't work. @jayprakash can you confirm this too? Could it be that there is a misunderstanding if compiz should run until and with 2048px or until and without 2048px, because of hardware limitations? -- [i945gm] dual screen not working with virtual resolution enabled: just a blank screen with a mouse pointer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 383345] Re: [i945gm] dual screen not working with virtual resolution enabled: just a blank screen with a mouse pointer
@Laurens my comments 42-43 compiz works even on that 1px. In jaunty I was on my daily work on 1024+1024 with compiz. Since Karmic I use 1024+1280 without compiz. The switch from compiz to metacity on changed resolution is without problems (gnome always starts with black screen 2048, I have keyboard shortcut to 1024+1280 - xrandr). Kwin nearly always crashes the whole xserver on this resolution change. Sometimes (20%) it's succesfull in survival after compositing is auto turned off. The maximum size of a 3D texture on i915/i945 is 2048x2048px. Since compiz is one big texture, it is supposed to work on that resolution. (Somewhere I red, that compiz developers plan to make compiz multitextured. I that case also older HW would manage big resolutions. Don't ask me how. I just red it on some compiz blog.) -- [i945gm] dual screen not working with virtual resolution enabled: just a blank screen with a mouse pointer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I can confirm this bug on an updated Lucid Beta 1. When the width of both screens together is 2048px. The screen now is not always black, see attachments. There is a difference between switching from metacity to compiz, and switching with compiz from 800 to 1024px resolution, see attachments. The first pixel column is still normal.

Hi All, In my readback, and please correct me if I am wrong, I did not see where anyone had tested this against the latest Lucid Alpha 3? Would it be possible for those of you experiencing this to try this against a Live image? Many of you may be aware that modesetting has migrated into the kernel. As such, there have been a number of drivers changed to run as KVM enabled. I would really appreciate some testing in Lucid. I'd also appreciate a test against the latest mainline build of the kernel in the team PPa to verify if this issue is showing up in a generic linux kernel.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 383345] Re: [i945GM] dual screen not working with virtual resolution enabled: just a blank screen with a mouse pointer
I had an idea :) Do desktop effects work in that garbaged state? Yes they work. In that one pixel I could see, changes of opacity, wobbly windows ... That means that bug is somewhere, in manipulation with 3D texture and sending it to display. And if I take into consideration, that even older intel driver (deb package) doesn't help anymore (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/383345/comments/36 ), I'd say, that there were two bugs in game. One in intel driver - black/white screen with moving mouse (didn't have that special one pixel). That is fixed. And one in mesa/3D (I believe), or xserver - the garbaged screen with texture cropped to 1px.

Hi, i have ubuntu 9.10, intel 945gm express family video card etc... i was trying somehow to setup dual monotors but always with problems like.. on both monitors black screen and with freez.. then i red somewhere that the default virtual screen is movin around 2000x2000 i got internal 1280x800 lcd on my notebook and external lcd has 1920x1080... i installed ArandR and i saw that my virtual screen is set to 1920x1080, so its same as my actual output on external monitor (1920x1080) So a set my internal lcd to 1024x768 and my external lcd to 832x624 so they both could fit to virtual screen size 1920x1080... and voila... my dual monitor set up works... except one problem... small not native resolutions... and second thing... i am able to use native resolutions (1280x800 and 1920x1080) on both monitors in dual monitors setup but one of them must be above the other. its wierd. Its like the virtual screen resolution needs to change x and y axis.. in my case from 1880x1920 (works,one above the other) to 3200x1080 (one to the left/right the other) I dont know what to do about that, thats why i posted this..maybe it helps, may be not, iam not even sure if it fits to this bug u r discusing about... but could u plz at least tell me why this is happening and how could i repair it? thx -- [i945GM] dual screen not working with virtual resolution enabled: just a blank screen with a mouse pointer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

There is some confusion in here by a few of the other posters (not the original reporter that knows about the limitation). The 2048x2048 3D texture limitation is a _hardware_ limitation, it has never worked under compiz with a virtual above 2048x2048 on intel chip older than 965. It used to be possible to use higher virtual sizes if you removed accel support but that has been broken under KMS since it came out. Try booting with i915.modeset=0 added to grub until the patch supporting it under KMS lands Lucien, it should still be possible to use 2048 virtual sizes (without accel) under UMS with the git20090702 driver thats currently in karmic. -- [i945GM] dual screen not working with virtual resolution enabled: just a blank screen with a mouse pointer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

@Lucian Please write if it's fixed for you. It's not fixed for me, and even it's worse (xorg doesn't start with virtual in xorg.conf).

Activated KMS on 2.6.30-10 still the same. With the new kernel, Virtual setting in xorg.conf crashes xserver on startup. $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1360 x 1536, maximum 2048 x 2048 Unable to set resolutions beyond 2048.

Hi, Confirming this bug. Running on https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa (newest xorg, intel driver and kernel) (so only UXA and DRI2) I have some xrandr configurations bind to keyboard shortcuts, so it's easy for me to test without restarts. Without compiz, everything works (curently running 2048x768 dual). Even resolutions greater than 2048x2048. With compiz: 1. xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --primary --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --right-of LVDS Black or corrupt screen (but mouse shows it is in correct resolutions next to each other). 2. xrandr --output LVDS --mode 800x600 --primary --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --right-of LVDS WORKS 3. xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --primary --output VGA --mode 800x600 --right-of LVDS WORKS 4. xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --primary --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --same-as LVDS WORKS 5. xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --primary --output VGA --mode 1360x768 --above LVDS WORKS - today morning worked :) For compiz settings loose bindings or indirect rendering in any configuration have no effect. Tested xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.7.99.1+git20090528.704771f1-0ubuntu0morgwai1~jaunty1 No change. Tested kernels 2.6.30-9 and 2.6.30-8 with no difference. X log shows nothing interesting.

I tried to investigate in which upstream commit this problem was introduced and it seems it was exactly the one from which the release was made (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86-video-intel/commit/?id=ec2fde7c8250fdc30984f16c8a1d3587d70b0144).

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 383345] Re: [i945GM] dual screen not working with virtual resolution enabled: just a blank screen with a mouse pointer
The server that produced this log file started from mirroring screens.
After I logged in I tried to make them independent which resulted in
black screen with movable mouse pointer. Pressing
ctrl+alt+{backspace,Fn} had no effect. Then I sent SIGTERM to the
server which also didn't have any effect. Then I sent SIGKILL and
machine froze.
