@Laurens my comments 42-43 compiz works even on that 1px. In jaunty I was on my daily work on 1024+1024 with compiz. Since Karmic I use 1024+1280 without compiz.
The switch from compiz to metacity on changed resolution is without problems (gnome always starts with black screen 2048, I have keyboard shortcut to 1024+1280 - xrandr). Kwin nearly always crashes the whole xserver on this resolution change. Sometimes (20%) it's succesfull in survival after compositing is auto turned off. The maximum size of a 3D texture on i915/i945 is 2048x2048px. Since compiz is one big texture, it is supposed to work on that resolution. (Somewhere I red, that compiz developers plan to make compiz multitextured. I that case also older HW would manage big resolutions. Don't ask me how. I just red it on some compiz blog.) -- [i945gm] dual screen not working with virtual resolution enabled: just a blank screen with a mouse pointer https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/383345 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
