Description

I have a multihead setup with the following screens: 

screen #0:
  dimensions:    1280x1024 pixels (342x271 millimeters)
  resolution:    95x96 dots per inch
  depths (7):    24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32
...
screen #1:
  dimensions:    1280x720 pixels (1084x610 millimeters)
  resolution:    30x30 dots per inch
  depths (7):    24, 1, 4, 8, 15, 16, 32

When I start mythfrontend I have my DISPLAY variable set to :0.1 so that mythfrontend starts on "screen #1" which is attached to an LCD flatscreen.

However, mythfrontend seems to misdetect which screen I am using:

As you can see it's reading the properties of screen 0 (i.e. it's dimensions) when in fact it's displaying on screen 1. This of course screws up all of the output as it scales everything to 1280x1024 rather than 1280x720.

I am NOT using Xinerama with this set up.

This is related to #4738. Can I verify what version of the mythfrontend you were running?

comment:2 Changed 16 years ago by Nigel

(In [16778]) Revert [16370], but add extra debug so I can work out what the original problem was. See #4738. See #5012.

Replying to nigel:

0.21 from Ubuntu gutsy-backports.

OK. The bug should be fixed in a future 0-21-fixes package, but until then, you might have to either:

  1. use the --geometry 1280x720
  2. Change the XineramaScreen? database setting to 1 (for screen 1)

Sorry about that, Brian.

The bug should be reverted, and [16812] should fix a few other multihead problems.
