Did X have a left+right config at startup or was this changed with xrandr (or some other config app)? I may have a suspicion what the problem is, but i need to gather some more info. This was changed with the command "xrandr --output DVI-D-0 --right-of LVDS-0". If you'd like me to check with this set up in xorg.conf, I'll need to find out how to do it :). Please try. This howto is pretty decent http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 Right, good guess. When the dual head setup is specified in xorg.conf, everything works fine. Playing around with xrandr in this case, I see: Switching from right-of => same as => right of: correct behaviour. Switching from right-of => left-of: correct behaviour. Switching from right-of => above: buggy behaviour: the screens are correct up to the original maximum vertical resolution, and broken below it. It seems the COW is not resized with xrandr changes. I have some issues with my system that prevent me from fixing this on the very short term, but i will have a look at this later. This is a (test) patch against xserver git, so it may not apply perfectly against against 1.4.x, It's also untested as i have no test application for the moment.

Sorry for the delay. You were running a git xserver before as well? (In reply to comment #10) > You were running a git xserver before as well? > Yes; I was running the same git snapshot, but minus the patch. The Ubuntu X packages are merged from Debian experimental I believe, if you're more familiar with them. I haven't tried with a raw build from freedesktop git. The Ubuntu packages have a bunch of extra patches applied to them, which may affect things? Maybe i'm just not hitting the situation, i don't have a full gnome desktop installed, only metacity. I'll have to poke some of the xorg guys about a few things before i can call that patch finished. Created attachment 14357 [details] [review] resize the composite overlay window A better patch, please test it. Created attachment 14358 [details] [review] resize the composite overlay window Made another small change. Created attachment 14359 [details] [review] resize the composite overlay window Make the function static. Created attachment 14360 [details] [review] esize the composite overlay window Return FALSE when appropriate. Confirmed, applied to Ubuntu's packages with a git snapshot as of 2008/01/31. Everything works fine with the above patch, xrandr resizing breaks Metacity's compositor (as described previously) without the patch. Fixed in xserver git. |

Created attachment 14164 [details] Xorg log When using metacity's composite manager, windows moved from my primary head (LVDS) to the second head (DVI-D-0) do not appear at all. The mouse pointer appears correctly, and the pointer changes depending on the contents of the invisible window as normal (ie: a text-caret when over a textbox, etc). This happened with the switch to metacity 2.21.8. One of the changes to the compositor was to use the Composite Overlay Window. The kwin's compositor in KDE4 also exhibits the same behaviour. Composite works correctly when using xcompmgr, which leads me to suspect that it's a problem with the COW on the second head.
