Ok, I did the test, it was a little more complicated than just commenting out the entry in xorg.conf, I had also to purge fglrx packages for it to start.
So, with the radeon driver, maximization works as expected, only on one monitor not both. But my gnome panel was moved to the second monitor (right) and I didn't find a way to put it back on the first one. Also I've noticed that in the display applet my monitors have their correct name displayed instead of "unknown" like with fglrx. Except for the misplaced panel (and no 3d :'( ), it works. I've reinstalled fglrx and retry, still the same problem. So it seems only related to fglrx and not ati-*. But in fact, like I said earlier, it worked with intrepid with ati big desktop feature... but on jaunty it seems not possible to use "big desktop" and I must use xrandr instead. ati-config complains: r...@trantor2:~# aticonfig aticonfig --initial --dtop=horizontal Uninitialised file found, configuring. Error: Options, e.g. --dtop and --desktop-setup, are not supported when RandR 1.2 is enabled So as I understand, I would need to disable RandR 1.2 for it to work... but I'm unable to do that, is there a way to disable RandR ? thanks -- Maximized windows spans to both monitors https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/347758 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
