[Bug 850885] Re: (oneiric) greeter screen displayed incorrectly with external monitor during login
Unity Greeter 0.2.2 now understands multi-monitors so I'd expect the layout to be more correct (please confirm Jane when it hits the archive). But it only uses the default behaviour that X/gnome-settings- daemon chooses which is mirror on my system. This is fine for first login but once the user changes their session to span monitors then there is the mismatch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850885 Title: (oneiric) greeter screen displayed incorrectly with external monitor during login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/850885/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 850885] Re: (oneiric) greeter screen displayed incorrectly with external monitor during login
Hi Bryce, As a temporary solution for Precise, can we please blank the framebuffer in the transition between the login session and the user session, where the display resolutions do not match. Going forwards, we will display login screens on each display at their native/last-used resolutions: See related bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/924759 See multi-monitor spec: https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1aHvJ-iIw-59bXTYBmIhQqEx0za2h9jpFE_RhZ2VOvJc/edit#bookmark=id.48eaevlgunt0 Upon login, it is then planned to use a cross-fade transition between the login session and user session. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850885 Title: (oneiric) greeter screen displayed incorrectly with external monitor during login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/850885/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 850885] Re: (oneiric) greeter screen displayed incorrectly with external monitor during login
Essentially, the problem is that during login the screen resolution is resized but the screen isn't cleared; gnome-settings-daemon (or *possibly the GPU) just fills the undefined space with snippets from the framebuffer. We could just insert a blank before beginning the login, and then unblank after, however this would cause an undesirable flicker for normal cases, where the screen resolution does not need to be changed. Perhaps a better approach would be to alter gnome-settings-daemon such that when it does a mode change during login, to either blank or scale the existing framebuffer, rather than the ugly tiling. ** Also affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High ** Also affects: ayatana-design Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/850885 Title: (oneiric) greeter screen displayed incorrectly with external monitor during login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/850885/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
