2008-01-09 04:18:02 Bryce Harrington description This is with the Gutsy daily desktop CD for amd64 from 2007/10/10. Apps like gdm and gnome-panel put their "bottom parts", e.g. the bottom gnome-panel instance and the gdm button area, about 2/3 to the bottom. I've attached some screenshots of this behavior. I couldn't figure it out until I went to the Screen and Graphics Preferences tool. It is autodecting a resolution of 1280x800 when the LCD screen is actually a normal 1280x1024 19" LCD. When I typed 'xrandr -q' I got: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1200 VGA-0 connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 0mm x 0mm 1280x800 60.0* 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 DVI-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 359mm x 287mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ 59.9 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 It seems as if GNOME apps assume that the screen is 1280x800 even though nothing is actually plugged into the VGA port. Once I dragged the panel down to the bottom it stays their across sessions. The other apps like gdm still have the odd behavior. The screenshots demonstrate this better than I can describe. udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_1002_514c' info.bus = 'pci' (string) info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_1022_7455' (string) info.product = 'Radeon R200 QL [Radeon 8500 LE]' (string) info.subsystem = 'pci' (string) info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_1002_514c' (string) info.vendor = 'ATI Technologies Inc' (string) linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2) (int) linux.subsystem = 'pci' (string) linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:08/0000:08:01.0/0000:09:00.0' (string) pci.device_class = 3 (0x3) (int) pci.device_protocol = 0 (0x0) (int) pci.device_subclass = 0 (0x0) (int) pci.linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:08/0000:08:01.0/0000:09:00.0' (string) pci.product = 'Radeon R200 QL [Radeon 8500 LE]' (string) pci.product_id = 20812 (0x514c) (int) pci.subsys_product_id = 20812 (0x514c) (int) pci.subsys_vendor = 'Palit Microsystems Inc.'
