GUI elements allways visible in fullscreen mode with TwinView

[Christoph Langner]

Binary package hint: totem

I'm working here with a two screen solution. I've got two TFT screens on a nvidia GeForce4 4600ti graphics card running the nvidia-glx driver. Here's a short extract out of my xorg.conf

---
Section "Device"
        Identifier "NVIDIA GeForce4 4600ti"
        Driver "nvidia"
        ...
        Option "TwinView" "on"
        Option "TwinViewOrientation" "RightOf"
        Option "MetaModes" "1280x1024,1280x1024;1024x768,1024x768;800x600,800x600"
EndSection

When I play a video file with totem and switch to fullscreen mode the GUI elements turn up as soon as I move the mouse but the don't vanish anymore. No matter if I move the mouse around inside the second screen or not.

My idea would be that the GUI elements show up as soon as I enter the screen with the video playback and vanish as soon as I leave that screen.

Thanks for your bug. What version of totem and Ubuntu do you use?

[Christoph Langner (chrissss)]

I'm running an uptodate ubuntu dapper here

# totem --version
Gnome totem 1.4.1

Thanks
Christoph

It'd be nice if you could enable dapper-updates and try with 1.4.3.

[Christoph Langner (chrissss)]

D'oh the bug is fixed in totem 1.4.3... Please mark this bug as resolved fixes. Thanks.

[Christoph Langner (chrissss)]

Sorry, I have du change my last report. It's a totem-xine issue.

When I install totem-gstreamer 1.4.3 everything is fine. When i move the mouse out of the fullscreen video display into the "free" display everything is OK, the gui elements vanish an appear as soon as I enter the video display.

But with totem-xine 1.4.3 it is still like I discribed in my bug report.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

do you have any error or message on the command line when you get the issue?

[Christoph Langner (chrissss)]

Nope, unfortunately there are no error messages inside the console, when running totem-xine 1.4.3 from the command line in full screen mode.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=347736 upstream is somewhat similar. What version of libxine do you use? Does pressing the 'A' key makes a difference?

[Christoph Langner (chrissss)]

Sorry for this late reply...

Hitting "A" doesn't help, nothing changes. Since my original Bug report i upgrades to Ubuntu Edgy. But the error is still there. The version of my libxine1 is 1.1.2+repacked1-0ubuntu3

The bug report you linked describes the same error.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

marking unconfirmed, no extra details are required, somebody having the problem should forward that upstream probably. What window manager do you use?

[Christoph Langner (chrissss)]

This bug is fixes in Ubuntu Feisty.

1) Open a video in totem
2) Hit "F" for fullscreen
3) Change into the next screen
4) The GUI elements hide

You can close this bug.
