Description David Kovalsky 2011-04-20 21:49:45 UTC
I have F14 on Lenovo W510 with Nvidia graphics:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GT216 [Quadro FX 880M] (rev a2)

which is capable of 1920x1080. 


When I setup another display, which is lower in resolution (I haven't found a display with same or higher resolution I could use, so not sure if it doesn't affect other displays) which is setup right, right window edge is not properly detected. 

So for example, if I start Firefox, right right edge is a couple of pixels on the other display. 


Similar, if the smaller primary display is at the top, internel LCD setup as the bottom (secondary), then I can't see Firefox status line. 

It may be related that my Gnome bottom panel is 50 pixels high. 


I'll attach some screenshots tomorrow to demonstrate what's going on.

Notice how the "tab" bar is not visible.

Comment 3 Matěj Cepl 2011-05-10 20:39:41 UTC
Thanks for the bug report.  I guess we can use some more information about what's going on. Please add drm.debug=0x04 to the kernel command line, restart computer, and attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)
* output of the dmesg command, and
* system log (/var/log/messages)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

I've removed a couple of bluetoothd and NetworkManager lines to protect my privacy :)

Comment 8 Matěj Cepl 2011-05-24 13:42:42 UTC
Please, add logs from using nouveau (please check with rpm -Va xorg-* before testing, that nvidia didn't corrupt your other packages).

Thank you.

Comment 9 David Kovalsky 2011-05-25 21:34:23 UTC
Basides the fact that with nouveau I'm unable to configure my connected display as primary (top) and notebook as secondary (bottom) effectively,  the same issues applies. Desktop edge is not properly detected. So don't blame this on binary blob :)

Xorg files are intact. I'll attach the logs in a sec.

Xorg.0.log

There's no xorg.conf

Comment 13 David Kovalsky 2011-05-27 15:23:44 UTC
I've noticed the component change to xorg-x11-drv-nouveau.

While I'm no subject domain expert, I believe this isn't just a bug in a specific driver given I was able to reproduce this on 2 drivers (though same hardware).

Comment 14 Ben Skeggs 2011-05-29 22:35:45 UTC
Yes, I also fail to see how the video driver is responsible here.

Reassigning to metacity, which being the window manager I'd assume is responsible for window placement.

Comment 15 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-16 14:58:26 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora 
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is 
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no 
longer maintained.  At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this 
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen 
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that 
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached 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 to click on 
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that 
version of Fedora.

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:
