well, i followed your comment above (update1, the weird part) and this will not work for me... so, my second screen stays "useless", unless i switch off compiz. it means: with metacity, gtk-window-decorator enabled and compiz disabled, everything works perfect...
/ubuntu/7.10/nvidia/6600go/laptop to at least (with two xscreens) have primary screen work nice with compiz and emerald, menus working normal etc I wrote a "script" :) that goes on gdm start-up : #!/bin/bash #switch between compiz 2 screens or 1 screen VIDEOCARD1=`/bin/cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep -c TV-0` VIDEOCARD2=`/bin/cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log |grep -c CRT-0` if [ "$VIDEOCARD1" = 0 ] && [ "$VIDEOCARD2" = 0 ]; then sleep 0 else TWINVIEW=`/bin/cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf |grep -c TWINVIEW` fi if [ "$TWINVIEW" = 0 ]; then sleep 3 compiz --replace --only-current-screen & emerald --replace & else sleep 0 fi basically what it does is: checks if any second monitor is attached to my laptop. than if not, nothing happens, if yes, it checks if i have a xorg.conf for twinview. if so: nothing happens cause there, compiz works fine on both screens. if not twinview xorg.conf, than it will do this: compiz --replace --only-current-screen & emerald --replace & this two little lines i found in the ubuntu forum. when applying them, first screen works fine, but second screen not. well, at least i can use now the second screen to watch a film on the TV-monitor, while first screen behaves normal. but to perform with veejay i have to switch off compiz, as i need the keyboard to control video on second screen. i dont use twinview for video on second screen, as the quality gets bad there: the well-known horizontal split-line in the middle of the screen; xscreen-setup in xorg allows me to pass an exact modeline for PAL-TV, witch makes video look correct again (no horizontal split). to be honest, i dont care if compiz works when I'm performing with live video, but it would be schick, of course, to show off, 0-o perhaps all this information helps!? -- ubuntu gutsy 7.10 / compiz / second xscreen / no keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/173517 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
