nouveau and multimonitor with mutter problems

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,
I'm trying here as F15 has been just released. Perhaps same problem in
rawhide too..
During latest days I have tested my XPS M1330 Dell laptop with nvidia
proprietary drivers and now I'm evaluating switching to nouveau.
I have final F15 x86_64.
No xorg.conf file and no nvidia rpm bits.
I connect a 19" monitor to vga.
Starting in fallback mode all is ok and I can configure laptop
(1280x800) under monitor (1280x1024).
In gdm the login box is inside laptop and I can see background inside
the monitor too.
After login my top bar is positioned at top of laptop display.
I can drag windows from top to bottom display crossing the top bar and
vice versa.
The status bar is at bottom of laptop.

If I set the default gnome 3 with effects, I have the same behaviour
at gdm login, and the same positioning of top bar after login.
But Inside the external monitor I see the background image, without
being able to put windows in this monitor.
When dragging a window it stops right under the top bar, no way. And
all new windows are opened inside laptop display.
If I use the classic Alt+drag operation I can traverse top bar and
arrive with top part of this window about half height of the external
monitor....

My nvidia adapter is:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G86 [GeForce
8400M GS] (rev a1)

In system settings --> graphics I see the driver detected as
Gallium 0.4 on NV86

in both fallback mode and standard mode xrandr gives:

Any hint on using gnome 3 standard or otherwise to have fallback mode
to work as a full gnome 2.x?
Thanks in advance,
Gianluca
