Hey Ronny, i've updated about 10 multihead systems to xorg 1.7. Half of them suffered from this bug. Though solutions seems quite simple: The "LeftOf" has problems in xorg 1.7. I simple changed monitor connectors and replaced "LeftOf" with "RightOf"; but as your example shows giving absolute positions might also do it. Sascha hi Sascha thanks for reply, i will try tomorrow and post if this solves the problem. Ronny Keeping x11 as a CC because I'm not ruling out a server bug here. Thanks What version of nvidia-drivers? please include the output of nvidia-bug-report.sh Created attachment 209334 [details] nvidia-bug-report.log.gz first: the hint of Sascha helped, its just a bit ugly because we main monitor isn't the one in the middle anymore... but it works temporary > What version of nvidia-drivers? This happens with every Version, its a bug which occours if the Screens are not in chronological order. like screen0 1024 0 and screen1 0 0. That happens for me as well. The "reorganize your screens to be in order inside xorg.conf" advise worked for me too, although again it is a fairly ugly fix. (In reply to comment #6) > That happens for me as well. The "reorganize your screens to be in order > inside xorg.conf" advise worked for me too, although again it is a fairly ugly > fix. > I apologize, I guess I should've mentioned my setup as well. I am using the nvidia proprietary driver (190.xx) with xorg 1.7.1. I have two different nvdia cards powering four monitors together connected via Xinerama (XRandR *STILL* doesn't do multi gpu afaik) I don't have the bug/ml post handy right now but from something I read this weekend, its an xorg-server bug that they don't intend on fixing because Xrandr is going to handle it at some point. I've posted a patch that fixes the problem for me here [https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=24986]; can you please try it? Tim *** Bug 295953 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** I have the same after today's update to x11-base/xorg-server-1.7.6 My graphics hardware is: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV44A [GeForce 6200] (rev a1) (using nvidia-drivers-195.36.15) 03:01.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation NV5M64 [RIVA TNT2 Model 64/Model 64 Pro] (rev 15) (using xf86-video-nv-2.1.17) I'm running 1.8.0, and I'm getting the same problem on a newly built system, is there any workaround to this bug?

nvidia Bug Report
It always seems to be happening when I put some stress on the system, I started jack_test tonight, otherwise, when I run emerge with xorg running, I should know better by now.
Tim's patch makes my system stable, please put this patch in the repository! It appears that the patch has been modified in the ticket and the final result works for other people. x11 herd: (remi): can you prod Peter to review this and merge it in to xorg-server? Altho it is not in stable version it is fixed in any xorg-server older than 1.8.1. Should the bug be closed then? Yes, I think it makes sense to close this -- I've been using 1.8.1.902 for a while now and it works just fine. Resolving as WORKSFORME per comment 17. |
