[Bug 771448] Re: desktop wall edge flipping broken

2011-08-08 Thread Jack Lecou
Well, pointer edge flipping was working flawlessly for a while with the mouse button binding workaround, but now edge flipping is back to only working infrequently or erratically at best. A recent update seems to have hosed it. I have two laptops suffering the problem now. More updates/review:

Nevermind about event windows - I hadn't realized 'desktop wall' depends on 'mouse position polling'. It seems to be a problem with the latter then - perhaps it's not sending position events reliably? I just tried reducing the polling interval, with no effect. But then I tried disabling polling

Piling on. I've been living with this since switching over to alpha Natty repositories several months ago. Figured it was just screwed up configuration, or would sort itself out , but recently did a clean upgrade on a second computer and am seeing exactly the same issue. Edge flipping will work

2010-10-20 Thread Jack Lecou
I'm on the road with a different computer so can't test at the moment, but will the first chance I get. I think my reasoning while flailing about to come up with the workaround was the hope that maybe pulseaudio might not be quite as smart or vigilant about (mis)managing the second card instance.

Larry's suggestion doesn't work for me. Or rather, it might, but I can't find the volume icon in the top panel he refers to. (Perhaps it's a non-default applet that I don't have installed?) I only have the standard panel volume control, which has a volume slider on left click, and a menu with

I did just discover that I can make gnome-sound-recorder, and probably other gstreamer apps, work by bypassing pulseaudio entirely for input. Just use gstreamer-properties to select Alsa as the input plugin (I also have to select my specific device AD198x Analog, as default doesn't work). This

Ok, I've at least found a workaround, but the bug is still present: Manually loading an alsa source in /etc/pulse/default.pa works (load- module module-alsa-source device=hw:0,0). This adds an Internal Audio input device, in additon to the auto- loaded (udev?) Internal Audio Analog Stereo.

I'm also experiencing this problem: scroll emulation set with xinput works initially, but stops working after a suspend/resume. Same versions as above. I'll add that it also stops working after a mere VT switch (which may be the real cause, since suspend/resume seems to do a VT switch
