Hi all, I think I may have possibly stumbled accross an X bug, but I was interested to see if anyone else had encountered it before bugging the harried souls of the X Strikeforce. A quick look at the billions of bugs filed against xserver-xfree86 hasn't turned up anything relevant...
I have a few apps that can run windowed or full-screen (mplayer (latest version self-compiled) and feh (latest Woody version) are two that I have confirmed it on). When run full screen, they will be miss-placed. They will be full-screen sized, and borderless, but start a few hundred pixels down and accross from the top left-hand corner of the screen. Imagine, for example, that the full-screen window had a window border and was dragged some distance accross the screen, so it didn't fill the whole screen. That's what it's like. Now, when I run either of these programs in windowed mode (not full screen), and then drag them into the very top left hand corner of the screen, then close and run them full screen, they take up the entire screen. So obviously they are remembering where they have been started up (or the X server is, or the window manager is), and starting up from that point when full-screened. Originally I thought this was a bug in mplayer, because that's where I first saw it, but now I have seen it in feh as well. Other apps that I have tried which run full screen (xine and gqview, for example) do not show this problem. I'm running latest Woody with a Matrox G450 and sawfish. The following, I think, are the relevant packages: [rei:docs]% dpkg -l sawfish\* xserver\* feh\*|grep ^i ii sawfish-gnome 0.99-1 A highly configurable window manager for X11 ii sawfish-merlin 1.0.1-1 More flexible functions for sawfish. ii xserver-common 4.1.0-7 files and utilities common to all X servers ii xserver-xfree8 4.1.0-7 the XFree86 X server ii feh 1.1.0-1 imlib2 based image viewer Is anyone else seeing these problems? Can anyone run feh or mplayer full screen properly? Even suggestions as to which package to file the bug(s) against would be appreciated. cheers, damon -- Damon Muller :: Department of Criminology :: University of Melbourne I am Revenge: sent from the infernal kingdom, To ease the gnawing vulture of thy mind, By working wreakful vengeance on thy foes. -- Titus Andronicus
