"Configure Display Settings" system tray tool.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 322921] Re: At startup, can't drag windows between dual monitors

2010-03-30 Thread Simon Cropper
Francis,

I followed your steps by renaming my xorg.conf file. Then doing
everything you said. It asked if I would like to change the xorg.conf
when removing the mirror check in the display setting dialog box. The
resulting xorg.conf did not solve the problem and did not differ
considerably from my original xorg.conf.

Consequently, I replaced the original xorg.conf and used apport-collect
to augment your bug.

I note however, you are migrating this bug to another bug (RE post by
David Tombs), after my original bug report was highjacked (Bug #538346).
What was Davids response to what was to become of the duplicate link? If
the two bugs are to be split again then then I should apport-collect to
the original bug.

Simon

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 538346] Re: Display manager in Ubuntu 9.10 not working with dual displays properly

2010-06-15 Thread Simon Cropper
apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  Hi,
  
  I have recently moved to Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic) and am running Kernal
  Linux 2.6.31-19-generic-pae and gnome 2.28.1.
  
  I have a dual monitor running off Geforce 8600 GT video card. The device
  driver on xorg.conf have been set to the genetic "nv" drivers w/ display
  setting used to allow the primary monitor to bleed into the second
  screen rather than using the propriety "nvidia" drivers w/ twinspan
  option on (this caused conflicts with various java programs I am using).
  
  The problem is that when booting the system I find that although
  visually the screens look OK, when I try and drag a window into the
  second screen 90% of the window will go but 10% will not -- it is as if
  I hit a wall.
  
  If I use "configure the display settings" to mirror the screens (and
  apply), then untick mirror screens(and apply), the screens are OK again
  -- i.e. the windows can be dragged back and forth OK.
  
  Any help would be appreciated.
  
  Simon

David,

Done this previously with no effect. I will try again but please give exact 
instructions on how you want me to do this -- e.g. do you want me to reboot 
between renaming xorg.conf file and using gnome-display-manager?

David,

What you suggested did not work. My notes and the file you requested are 
attached.

I renamed xorg.conf to something else. Rebooted.

1. After logging on I note 'Unknown' marked in top left of the primary 
monitor. Second monitor blank.
2. If I try and use gnome-display-manager, a dialog box appears with the text 
"It appears that your graphics driver does not support the necessary 
extensions to use this tool.  Do you want to use your graphics driver vendor's 
tool instead?"
3. If I choose "No". Can't change any configuration.
4. If I choose "Yes" the dialog opens "nVidia X Server Settings" Tool but a 
dialog that appears states "You do not appear to be using the NVIDIA X driver.  
Please edit your X configuration file (just run `nvidia-xconfig` as root), and 
restart the X server."
5. I note that a new xorg.conf has not been created.
6. The details from the xorg.0.log are below. I have reinstated the previous 
version of xorg.conf without trying to recreate a new xorg.conf or anything 
else. Please advise me what you would like me to do.

David,

The short response is "that appeared to work", thanks!

Now a bit more detail to outline what was done.

As requested I have attached my comments and associated files as text files. 
What I did and the results are outlined in the sequence file. Note that 
although the "dual screen" issue appears to be resolved my screens appear to 
get confused on boot with the primary monitor flashing a mosaic of 2x2 cm grids 
all over the bottom half of the screen. Once the log-on screen appears 
everything appears OK and works OK.

David,

Yes, the original symptoms have disappeared, but new ones have appeared in 
their place. Presumably all due to the 'configuration' or 'bug'.

What would be causing the screen to display a mosaic on loading? I have also 
noted that the screen takes ~1-2 seconds longer to repaint in certain 
instances. For example, when the panels appear at startup - this takes 2 or so 
seconds where previously it was 1/2 a second. Although the screen appears to 
be working "the desktop" does not appear quite right.

After implementing your fix I have had the computer crash due what appeared to 
be screen related problems. 

What happened was ...
- I went to log off and the desktop noted that an unknown program was still 
open. 
- I waited but it did not finish. 
- I looked in the system monitor and could not see it. 
- Eventually I tried again and told the logout routine to force a shutdown. 
- What happened then was the screen became totally jumbled (looking 
suspiciously like the screen when starting up - i.e. confused) 
- I forced a hardware reboot and the problem has not reoccurred; yet

In another instance (again showing how things are not quite right) ...
- I logged off as a user and the dialog box listing the available users on the 
desktop behaved in an unusual manner.
- instead of appearing in the centre of the screen as usual the dialog box 
repainted so the height occupied the entire screen, then stepped down until 
eventually reaching 'normal size'. The process took 1-2 seconds, which seemed 
like an eternity. I was able to log back on.
- its like ubuntu is getting confused, or the driver is not really working 
properly. The fact that things eventually settle down - DURING A PARTICULAR 
SESSION - suggests that either the 'bug' is only triggered at certain times or 
ubuntu is falling back to generic drivers as the appropriate one does not work 
correctly.

So David, in your mind is this 'bug' actually fixed? To me, something is still 
not quite right. The system was more stable originally, just a pain to have to 
setup the dual screens on startup. Now I don't have to do this but a range of 
new symptoms have appeared. Superficially the aberrations are not deal breakers 
but that assumes (a) the symptoms are not indicative of something more 
serious, or (b) the system does not leave my 'blind' while doing some mission 
critical task resulting in data loss or corruption.

If you can help resolve these questions, it would be greatly appreciated, as 
my confidence in the stability of the system is undermined everytime I see a 
screen that would normally just appear; flicker, repaint slowly or not appear 
to behave in the same way as normal.
