  Position of second monitor wrong in dual monitor setup if first
  monitor is 1366x768

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  I'm using a two-monitor setup with an ati graphics card (Mobility Radeon HD 
4300) on my laptop(lenovo u450p).
  The Laptop screen has a hardware resolution of 1366x768, the external monitor 
a hardware resolution of 1920x1080. 

  If I set up the second monitor using

  xrandr --output HDMI-0 --off
  xrandr --output LVDS --auto
  xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --right-of LVDS

  (or the kde gui, the effects are equal)
  I expect

  1) the left 1366x768 area to be on the laptop screen, and 
  2) the right 1920x768 area to be on the big monitor. 

  But I observe:
  1) happens as expected
  2) happens almost. instead, the 2 rightmost pixels on the laptop monitor are 
repeated on the left border of the big monitor(filled with black to the 
bottom), in turn the two rightmost columns of the virtual display area are not 
visible on any monitor at all.

  If I switch the laptop monitor resolution to 1280x720, this effect does not 
occur, and - except for the then blurred laptop screen - everything works as 
expected.
  A screenshot shows the whole virtual desktop correctly.

would appear to be an upstream Xorg bug:

There is a workaround in the form of xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --pos
1368x0 (shift the second display 2 pixels to the right).

I assume the first '--pos 1368x0' is a typo and should be '--pos
1366x0'.

I'm afraid this is not easily fixable, as the hardware only supports
horizontal offsets which are a multiple of 4, so the drivers just round
down values that aren't.

As Michel noted, this is a hardware limitation.  To fix this properly,
the xserver would need to be changed to allocate separate buffers for
each display rather than one big surface for all displays.
Unfortunately, this is a fairly major task.

Does the hardware limitation (horizontal offsets multiple of 4) apply to all

of the popular desktop graphics hardware Intel, ATI/AMD/Radeon and Nvidia, or 
only
to a subset of these? (Please excuse my ignorance if this is a stupid question

Vertical alignments have to a multiple of 2 as well.  It applies to most
Radeon asics.  Not sure about other vendors, but it's likely they may
have similar requirements.

2014-01-08 Thread Christopher M. Penalver
Andreas Gölzer, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications-Accessories-Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Please note, given that the information from the prior release is
already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one
would not be helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 680614] Re: Position of second monitor wrong in dual monitor setup if first monitor is 1366x768

2014-01-08 Thread Andreas Gölzer
I assume this bug is still present, but I'm right now not having any
linux system or a second monitor to check with the live cd.

As mentioned in #29, the bug seems to be not in ubuntu, but somewhere in
X or the drivers.  There is some discussion at freedesktop,
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63900 , which is probably a
better suited place for this particular bug then launchpad.

I guess the correct status would be won't fix, but that is greyed out
for me.

2013-04-25 Thread Alex T.
I posted it. Fixing it would take a major rewrite of Xorg, so the workaround is 
the best option for those who have this issue. I just moved the position of my 
monitor to fix my mouse issue.

  Position of second monitor wrong in dual monitor setup if first
  monitor is 1366x768

Status in “xserver-xorg-video-ati” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: xorg

  I'm using a two-monitor setup with an ati graphics card (Mobility Radeon HD 
4300) on my laptop(lenovo u450p).
  The Laptop screen has a hardware resolution of 1366x768, the external monitor 
a hardware resolution of 1920x1080. 

  If I set up the second monitor using

  xrandr --output HDMI-0 --off
  xrandr --output LVDS --auto
  xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --right-of LVDS

  (or the kde gui, the effects are equal)
  I expect

  1) the left 1366x768 area to be on the laptop screen, and 
  2) the right 1920x768 area to be on the big monitor. 

  But I observe:
  1) happens as expected
  2) happens almost. instead, the 2 rightmost pixels on the laptop monitor are 
repeated on the left border of the big monitor(filled with black to the 
bottom), in turn the two rightmost columns of the virtual display area are not 
visible on any monitor at all.

  If I switch the laptop monitor resolution to 1280x720, this effect does not 
occur, and - except for the then blurred laptop screen - everything works as 
expected.
  A screenshot shows the whole virtual desktop correctly.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 680614] Re: Position of second monitor wrong in dual monitor setup if first monitor is 1366x768

2013-04-22 Thread Bob Hill
I have personally observed this bug on Fedora 16, Fedora 17 and openSUSE 12.1,
so it would appear to be an upstream Xorg bug, not a specific Ubuntu bug.

I can live very well with the circumvention described in Comment #23, but any-
one who has a strong desire for this bug to be fixed might like to open a bug
directly against Xorg itself, presumably on https://bugs.freedesktop.org/

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 680614] Re: Position of second monitor wrong in dual monitor setup if first monitor is 1366x768

2013-04-21 Thread Alex T.
Is there any progress being made on this? It's quite an annoying bug.
The workaround doesn't work for me because Cinnamon will let my mouse
travel freely outside my monitor while using it. (This makes it
impossible to have hidden panels as my mouse just flys past them.)
