Package: general
Severity: important
Hi,
I'm reporting this bug against the 'general' package as I've no clue about
which one should be the good one. From my point of view, this can be:
- the linux kernel
- the xserver-xorg core
- the xserver-xorg-video-intel driver
- the xserver-xorg-video-nouveau driver
- the GTK (or other widget) library
- ... ?
I hope someone will be able to reassign this bug to the correct package(s).
I've a laptop with dual video cards: Intel and NVidia.
I mainly use the Intel one (better for battery) but the external DP output is
only wired on the NVidia card. So, when I want to use a large external screen,
I need to run something like:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource nouveau Intel
xrandr --output DP-1-3 --auto --primary --output eDP1 --auto --right-of DP-1-3
The first command enable the NVidia card and allows the Intel card to send
data to it (the randering will always be done by the Intel card). The second
one enables my external monitor (DP-1-3) as the primary monitor and the
integrated display of the laptop (eDP1) as a secondary monitor.
When disconnecting the external monitor, I use:
xrandr --output DP-1-3 --off --output eDP1 --auto --primary
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource nouveau 0x0
It worked well. I was able to move window between the two monitors.
But, after the last upgrade (see below the upgraded packages), I suffer
several problems after I enabled the external monitor:
- window from iceweasel and icedove opened with a very small size (unless
before where they opened at their last size) [but correctly on the primary
external monitor]
- popup windows from iceweasel and icedove (to ask for password or passphrase
or to ask to restore or not the session) all opened on the laptop monitor in
a small size (wheras the mouse was on the primary monitor)
- more problematic (hence this bug report), menus in iceweasel and icedove do
not draw themselves. The heading is selected but nothing appears below. It is
also true for menus from their toolbar (ie 'Tags' selector in icedove for
example)
- for emacs, if the window is at a high where the secondary monitor have
pixels, the menu is opened on the left of the secondary monitor! Else, the
menu do not open at all.
- other programs work correctly (at least the 'Applications' menu of XFCE that
I use as VM, menus from Thunar, menus and windows from GIMP, ...)
- for problematic applications (at least Iceweasel, Icedove and Emacs), moving
the window onto the other monitor (without closing it) allows menus to be
correctlt drawn (on the other monitor). When the window is moved again onto
the primary external monitor, the problematic behavior occurs again.
So, if someone have an idea of what happens, of where (in which softare) is
the bug, or just want additionnal inputs, just say so. For now, this is really
annoying.
Regards,
Vincent
