Created attachment 1135049 [details] Xrandr Patch Description of problem: With the NVIDIA proprietary driver installed on Fedora 23, with Xorg-X11-Server-Xorg-1.18.0-2 installed does not display certain menus, and firefox only starts in a small window. This is a regression from Xorg-server 1.17 to 1.18, with the xrandr package. This bug has been submitted by others upstream to FreeDesktop, but is not yet released. See https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92313. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.18.0-2.fc23.x86_64.rpm How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install Fedora 23 with GUI (I used Xfce Environment) 2. Install NVIDIA proprietary driver from Nvidia.com 3. Modify xorg.conf and xinitrc script as recommended by NVidia. 4. Start XFCE 5. Launch Firefox. Actual results: Firefox will start in a small window. Resizing to a normal size, the configuration menu will not display. Expected results: Firefox will start to the previously used size, and the menus will display correctly. Additional info: See attached xrandr.patch for the fix, originally posted by Jan Burgmeier in two parts on FreeDesktop.org bug. I have tested this fix against the xorg-x11-server-1.18.0-2.fc23.src.rpm package with Xorg server 1.18.0, and have tested against version 1.18.1. Both successfully fixed the issue.
To be clear, version 1.18.1 does not fix the issue, but the patch can be applied to v1.18.1 as well as 1.18.0. This patch has not been included upstream yet.
Upgraded to xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.18.1-3.fc23.x86_64, same problem persists. The supplied xrandr.patch can be applied in xorg-x11-server-1.18.1-3.fc23.src.rpm as well.
Patch has been included upstream in version 1.18.2, which fixes the issue. I tested by updating the SPEC file from xorg-x11-server-1.18.1-3.fc23.src.rpm, to manually build xorg-x11-server-1.18.2-1.fc23.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 23 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 23. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '23'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 23 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
Fedora 23 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-12-20. Fedora 23 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.

If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug.
