Note: This bug is displayed in read-only format because
the product is no longer active in Red Hat Bugzilla.
RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Window does not maximize to full resolution of screen
Description of problem:
Using nvidia-settings to access the Advanced settings for a Display Configuration, we create a ViewPortIn that scales a larger resolution onto a smaller display (in this case 2048x1080 onto a 1920x1080 display)
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
xrandr 1.3.5
nVidia driver 319.23
xorg-x11-server-Xorg 1.13.0
Linux 2.6.32-358.2.1.el6.x86_64
How reproducible:
100% - easily reproducible
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open nvidia-settings. Click on X Server Display Configuration. Then click a Display and then click Advanced. Under ViewPortIn change the resolution to a larger display than what the display can normally go. Click Apply
2. Drag a window to your new "larger" display
3. Click Maximize.
Actual results:
Window does not fill the new resolution but only maximizes to the old display dimensions. You can drag the window out to the full resolution.
Expected results:
Window maximizes to the resolution of the larger ViewPortIn resolution.
Additional info:
We've tested this from the high end nVidia Quadro Kepler 5000 to the Quadro 3800 card with the same results. Also this doesn't work in KDE either on the same system.
The X server doesn't control window sizes, it just obeys what the window manager asks for. What window manager are you using in this scenario, and once you have resized, what is the output from 'xdpyinfo -ext XINERAMA' ?
