Description dpreed 2006-09-06 17:38:58 UTC

Please describe the problem:
On my x86_64 machine running FC5,with nVidia proprietary driver in Clone mode, the lock dialog is not properly displayed.   I can type "blind" the unlock password, and the screen restores properly.

I had been running xscreensaver, and switched to gnome-screensaver.  xscreensaver's lock dialog was restored correctly.


Steps to reproduce:
1. on my laptop, x86_64 FC5, g-s 2.14.3, run "gnome-screensaver --debug --no-daemon"
2. lock the display using the gnome panel lock icon (or wait)
3. when s/s appears, try hitting shift key or moving mouse


Actual results:
screensaver stops moving, remains as is, but dialog is not popped up (on either Twinview screen).

Can type unlock password and the screensaver unlocks and restores screen

Expected results:
see dialog box (as happens on other FC5 machines I have running same code, but they aren't x86_64 or Twinview)

Does this happen every time?
Yes

Other information:
Debug log during a run where the dialog is not shown, but the above steps are carried out:

Comment 1 William Jon McCann 2006-09-06 18:02:22 UTC

One really strange thing here is that gdk thinks that one of the two g-s windows (one per monitor) is completely obscured (not visible).  The dialog may be displayed on that window.

What does your nvidia "Device" section of xorg.conf look like?

I've tested the normal twinview mode but not clone mode.

Comment 2 dpreed 2006-09-06 19:09:17 UTC

My xorg.conf looks like (note that my primary Monitor is the DFP)

Comment 3 William Jon McCann 2006-09-06 19:46:37 UTC

OK, I was able to reproduce this with g-s HEAD using something similar to your configuration.  It is what I thought.  GDK is reporting that the screen has two monitors - as if it were the typical xinerama/twinview setup without using clone.  I can confirm this using gtk+/tests/testxinerama.

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to somehow check if the monitors are clones...

Comment 4 William Jon McCann 2006-09-06 20:12:06 UTC

If I modify testxinerama to print to the screen, since I can't see the widget on monitor 2, and additionally print out the screen size I get:
** Message: Screen width: 1920 height: 1200
** Message: <big><span foreground='white' background='black'>Monitor 1 of 2</span></big>
<i>Width - Height       </i>: (1600,1200)
<i>Top left coordinate </i>: (0,0)
** Message: <big><span foreground='white' background='black'>Monitor 2 of 2</span></big>
<i>Width - Height       </i>: (1920,1200)
<i>Top left coordinate </i>: (0,0)

Comment 5 William Jon McCann 2006-09-06 20:17:26 UTC

And without clone on (typical twinview):
** Message: Screen width: 3520 height: 1200
** Message: <big><span foreground='white' background='black'>Monitor 1 of 2</span></big>
<i>Width - Height       </i>: (1600,1200)
<i>Top left coordinate </i>: (0,0)
** Message: <big><span foreground='white' background='black'>Monitor 2 of 2</span></big>

<i>Top left coordinate </i>: (1600,0)

Comment 6 dpreed 2006-09-07 02:46:06 UTC

OK, I tried fiddling with the xorg.conf file options for the NVIDIA driver.   I can make it work correctly by suppressing the Xinerama emulation, using the option "NoTwinViewXineramaInfo" as below.  But I still think it is a bug: since the two screens "overlap" in their origin, shouldn't that be what works when Xinerama says the two screens overlap?

Comment 7 Daniel Stone 2006-12-28 13:24:13 UTC

this happens for me too, using the i810 modesetting driver, which provides randr 1.2.  slightly contracted debug output follows.

when i unlock, i can see the dialog mapped at the top of the screen, with decorations.  maybe this is a metacity stacking issue in disguise?

Created attachment 88561 [details] [review]
The above patch was reported to fix things

The above patch subtracts out overlapping areas in the screensaver windows so that they are always disjoint and the lock dialog never gets sandwiched between two windows.

Comment 10 Raphael Hertzog 2007-06-15 07:42:45 UTC

I tested this patch and it works for me too. 
This bug was also reported in the Debian BTS.

http://bugs.debian.org/420339

Any plans to include it? It's a rather important bug now that xrandr support is enabled by default in the latest Xorg intel drivers (and that by default the 2 screen setup is a case like this).

It would warrant inclusion in a 2.18.x point release IMO.

Comment 11 William Jon McCann 2007-07-05 20:47:30 UTC

Fixed in trunk and 2.18.  Thanks Ray!
