Description Klaasjan Brand 2008-01-09 14:23:53 UTC
Description of problem:

When turning on dual-head (or via static xorg configuration or via randr) the
gnome panel always gets the dimensions of the first screen returned by xrandr
instead of the dimension of the screen the panel is on.

For example, I've got a laptop with a 1920x1200 LVDS and a VGA out.
Xrandr reports:
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected 1920x1200+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x
207mm

When connecting the VGA to a 1600x1200 panel the VGA port will be correctly
configured. The panel will remain on the 1920x1200 screen but will be resized to
fit on a 1600x1200 screen.

I've seen this problem on Intel 965 and ATI r300 adapters, so it seems fairly
common.

Why can't the panel keep the resolution of the screen it's on?


How reproducible:

Always.

Comment 1 Bug Zapper 2008-11-26 09:21:30 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 8.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '8'.

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 8'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 8 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:

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2009-01-09 05:44:50 UTC
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 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no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further 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.
