I am also experiencing this problem. My setup is two rotatable 1600x1200 monitors. In portrait rotation (left) there is a horizontal space between the two monitors, both on the illustration and in "reality". As well, the monitors can then be placed on top of one another in the vertical direction (again both in the illustration and in reality). I think that this bug is independent of the bugs above. In my view this is a significant bug in the applet. This appears to be fixed in the F12 RC as far as I can tell - I don't have an Intel 945 video setup. I tried it out on a dual-screen machine (nvidia graphics card, nouveau driver). Everything appears to be working fine (almost!). Rotating the monitors allowed them to touch each other and the displayed geometry matched the actual geometry. The cursor also rotated correctly (although this may be particular to the graphics card / driver). The only "glitch" is that initially side-by-side monitors don't touch on the display when one is rotated from horizontal to vertical, but moving one of them snaps them together. I don't view this as a significant problem, but it might be nicer to have the monitor snap together. The problem also works the other way - after a rotation to horizontal, one monitor may occlude part of the other. Both of these situations can result in artifacts in the actual display - accepting a separated or an occluded setup on the applet window results in separated or overlapped displays. This message is a reminder that Fedora 11 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 11. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '11'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 11's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 11 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 11 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-06-25. Fedora 11 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
