Description of problem: If "desktop effects" are enabled while laptop is in docking station and using external screen, maximizing any window does not fill desktop. Instead, window's size matches laptop screen size, not external monitor size. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 8 compiz-gnome-0.6.2-3.fc8 compiz-0.6.2-3.fc8 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Dock laptop with external 19" monitor (Dell 1900FP). 2. Enable Desktop Effects 3. Maximize any window. Actual results: Maximized windows are sized as if screen is 15.1 laptop screen. Expected results: Maximized windows would be sized to fit external 19" LCD screen (Dell 1900FP) Additional info: When laptop is not docked and desktop effects are enabled, the windows maximize as expected. This is only a problem when the laptop is docked. This is a Dell Latitude D610 with onboard Intel 915MP video in a D/Port Advanced Port Replicator.
Hi, same problem here, seems related to the RandR extension. If I display the status using the xrandr utility, I get this listing: root@sweet[~]# xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024 VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 360mm x 270mm 1280x1024 84.8*+ 85.0 75.0 60.0 1280x960 85.0 60.0 1280x800 85.0 75.0 70.0 60.0 1152x864 100.0 85.1 85.0 75.0 75.0 74.8 70.0 60.0 1280x768 85.0 75.0 70.0 60.0 1280x720 85.0 75.0 70.0 60.0 1152x768 54.8 1024x768 84.9 85.0 75.1 75.0 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 84.9 85.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 85.0 84.6 75.0 72.8 72.8 75.0 66.7 69.6 60.0 59.9 720x400 87.8 85.0 70.1 640x400 85.1 640x350 85.1 DVI-0 unknown connection 1152x864+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1280x800 60.0 1152x864 60.0* 1280x768 60.0 1280x720 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) Just one monitor here, using the VGA-0 output at 1280x1024. When using compiz, windows are maximized at the 1152x864 resolution, and also mplayer in full screen mode plays videos using this resolution. mplayer does the same also when I'm not using compiz, so I think that this bug should be filed to something related to RandR. If I disable the DVI-O output (xrandr --output DVI-0 --off) all works perfectly (compiz AND mplayer). Bye!
Hi, I also have the same problem with only one monitor. I have a normal resolution of 1280x1024 through VGA, but when I enable desktop effects, windows are maximized to 1152x864. I found a workaround that is to reduce the resolution to 1024x768 and then restore it to the original 1280x1024. This is effective while in the same session (in other words, if I logout and then login again, the effect of the workaround is lost and I have to do it again), but I can enable and disable compiz as much as I want while in the same session without losing the effect. Bye
Same problem with one 19 inch monitor at 1440x900. Windows are scaled to about 3/4 size.
Thanks for the bug report. We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue. Please attach your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf whatsoever and let X11 autodetect your display and video card?

Reporter, could you please reply to the previous question? If you won't reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you.
I'd call this one a dupe of #431302.
