Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
Preamble: this issue is related to #207770 where it was mostly fixed; however using a Radeon X600 with dual monitors still causes Compiz to fail to load. Also, it seems others are having the same problem* with varying types of hardware, but no-one has reported it as a new bug. What happens: Compiz fails to load (see attached xsession-errors) with the error: 'Checking screen 1Comparing resolution (3200x1200) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Failed.' It then falls back to Metacity. What should happen: Compiz or Gnome should work around the limitations of graphics cards like any other software, or OS that supports compositing (given that other OS' have no problems supporting large desktops with wallpaper, Ubuntu should be no different). Perhaps Gnome should split the wallpaper image and use two textures on each desktop? Perhaps the image could be tiled by Compiz? * See: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/124519/comments/37 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/124519/comments/38 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/desktop-effects/+bug/148352/comments/21 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: amd64 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.04 Lsusb: Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 046d:c504 Logitech, Inc.
