Bugzilla Bug 183721

after upgrading from kde 3.5.6 to 3.5.7 the desktop does not resize to fit
roteted screen.

Normal orientation of screen:
  ----- 
 |     | 
 |     | 
  ----- 

left orientation (right part is black, top part to big):
  ----- 
 |    || 
 |    || 
  -----

xorg video driver is nvidia; alternate WM (fluxbox) works.

Can you reproduce the problem when using the F/OSS nv driver? Using the
closed-source nvidia driver, I can reproduce the problem on KDE 3.5.7.

> Can you reproduce the problem when using the F/OSS nv driver? Using the

same thing with nv-driver. it's not the X-screen that works wrong (mouse
courser can move the whole screen and fluxbox works), just a KDE problem... I
think.

This looks very much like an upstream issue and I am not sure we have the
resources to patch this without help.

ok. I've sent a comment to the KDE bug listed above. Let's see what will happen

Robert Gerlach posted a patch
(http://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=21183&action=view). I'd like to test it,
if no one else would, but I need a little bit help which eclass to modify and
perhaps how.

It didn't fix it for me, see my screenshots at upstream bug.

Not eclass, but the qt ebuild. For example:

I've also tried the qt-patch and it works for me. also the kicker behaves
right. can't reproduce your problem.

> Not eclass, but the qt ebuild. For example:

thanks. It toke me some time until I noticed that this was a qt patch and not a
KDE one. Can the patch order have an influence? I put the randr patch after
utf8-bug-qt3.diff.

O.k., if I read this right, all comes down to 

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2965


so it's X11 turf.

This patch, applied to xorg-server-1.3.0.0 fixed everything for me, including
kicker panels. Dunno why Robert Gerlach says you need to revert this patch...

http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commit;h=c10df5b967d4da4e11786520317e2917de5541fa

This is the patch that needs including for xorg 1.3.0

http://gitweb.freedesktop.org/?p=xorg/xserver.git;a=commitdiff;h=c10df5b967d4da4e11786520317e2917de5541fa;hp=e1dea151db6405e12d991feacba9446320739ee8

BTW xorg-server-1.4 is fine, I also checked the patch is indeed applied in its
sources...

So as long as 1.4 is still marked unstable, can we make an 1.3.0.0-r1 and
release it?

I applied it as well an it resolves the whole problem. Should definately go
into the tree.

Fixed in xorg-server-1.3.0.0-r2, thanks!
