Description of Problem: We have a current system with three displays - a different background image on each display. We are replacing it with a Linux PC using Xinerama mode in XFree86. However the image that appears on the Linux displays is incorrect. Instead of three different images, we get the image on "display 0" repeated on all three displays. Not sure this is an xloadimage problem or a problem with the window manager or XFree86 server. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How Reproducible: Our current system has three files, station.gif modlogo.gif dtlogo.gif which are loaded with the following command line... xloadimage -onroot -at 1280,1 -gamma .75 -border black \ -yzoom 102 station.gif -merge -onroot -at 2684,53 \ modlogo.gif -merge -onroot -at 108,35 dtlogo.gif The DT logo appears on the left, station on the center, and MOD logo on the right for the current system. On the Linux PC, the picture in "modlogo.gif" appears on all three displays. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure a multihead system with Xinerama enabled. 2. Pick a different image per display & run an xloadimage command similar to that above. 3. View the results Actual Results: The image located in the "upper left" of the composite display is repeated on all displays. Expected Results: A different image appears on each display per the command line. Additional Information: For reference, the system we are using reports a display size of 3840x1024. [3 side by side 1280x1024 displays, 24 bit color] The messages from xloadimage were... station.gif is a 1280x1024 GIF image with 128 colors Compressing color map...89 unique colors Zooming Y axis by 102%...done Adjusting colormap for display gamma 0.75...done Merging...done modlogo.gif is a 1006x904 GIF image with 128 colors Compressing color map...no improvement Zooming Y axis by 102%...done Adjusting colormap for display gamma 0.75...done Merging...done dtlogo.gif is a 1024x939 GIF image with 128 colors Compressing color map...no improvement Zooming Y axis by 102%...done Adjusting colormap for display gamma 0.75...done Merging...done building XImage...done
Oops. A slight mistake. Under "how reproducable", the dtlogo.gif appears on all three displays.
We tried again with "skipjack" - the root display is created as expected. Please close.
