When switched to vertical resolution with gnome-randr-applet, xscreensaver uses the horizontal resolution instead of vertical one

[Wolfgang Silbermayr]

I use gnome-randr-applet to switch to a vertical resolution. When I activate the screensaver, it seems to use the horizontal resolution of the same size leaving the lower area of the desktop as it is. I use the nvidia driver 1.0-7667 on a Quadro FX 1400. I don't know how the system behaves if I use the nv driver.

This is what my desktop looks like without a screensaver running

what do you call "a vertical resolution"?

[Wolfgang Silbermayr (silwol)]

what I call "a vertical resultion" is every resolution that has more pixels in height than in width. I for example used 1024x1280 instead of 1280x1024.

Can you retry with gnome-screensaver installed?
