Description of problem: Windows don't maximize properly after the resolution has been changed with xranr. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): phoebe-3 + rawhide + XFree86-4.3.0-2.1 How reproducible: always (with Gnome at least) Steps to Reproduce: 1. start an X session 2. change resolutions with xrandr 3. maximize a window Actual results: The windows's extents don't seem to take into account the panel: The panel overlaps the window. Expected results: The maximized window should extend up to the edge of the panel. Additional info:
I forgot to mention that I have an ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 (Sony VAIO GRX 6xx)
Please attach your XFree Config & Log files & the output of uname -a
Log files? Plural? I was going to attach /var/log/XFree86.0.log; do you want something else?
Created attachment 90537 [details] /etc/X11/XF86Config Other than commented 'Modes' line, generated by 'xconfig --card "ATI Radeon Mobility 7500" --videoram 32768 --monitor "Generic Laptop Display Panel 1600x1200" --resolution 1600x1200 --depth 16 --startxonboot --defaultdesktop gnome' in my kickstart file.
Created attachment 90538 [details] /var/log/XFree86.0.log log file after 1) start an X session in 1600x1200 mode 2) 'xrandr -s 2' (switch to 1280x1024)
'uname -a' yields: Linux sonylap1 2.4.20-2.54 #1 Sat Feb 22 08:27:12 EST 2003 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux Going offline until tomorrow morning.
Window mechanics have nothing to do with XFree86. They are window manager specific behaviour. If you are using a window manager which is part of Red Hat Linux, please reassign this to the window manager component that you are using, the default for GNOME is metacity, while KDE is kwin. If you're using an add-on window manager, then this is a bug in that window manager.
Does it start working if you move a panel (e.g. to the left side, then back to bottom, or something)
Using the properties dialog for my bottom edge panel and changing from bottom to top and back does fixes things.
