237405 - BigDesktop (fglrx) causes display oddities

Status: RESOLVED EXPIRED

(SeaMonkey :: MailNews: Message Display, defect)

Description

[Kevin MacPherson]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040216 Debian/1.6.x.1-10
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.6) Gecko/20040216 Debian/1.6.x.1-10

When using BigDesktop option with fglrx drivers (One framebuffer, two heads, no
Ximerama support) especially the mail client but also forms in Mozilla are
thrown off.

In the mail client I get double spaced lines for all folder and mail listings.
The font in the mail body as well as for forms in Mozilla Browser are very small.
I've tried quite a few options to try to get a "normal" display but I can't get
it to display properly.

With BigDesktop I am using 2048x1024 as aresolution and unlike Ximerama it does
not limit application to fullscreen on one head or the other.

If you need screen caps I can see about e-mailing them to someone or putting
them on an FTP site.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Setup BigDesktop using fglxrconfig
2. Open Mozilla Mail
3. 

Actual Results:  
The diplay is using Double Lines for lists and small text in the body.

Expected Results:  
It should display normally as in single head.

It seems that since the desktop is returning 2048x1024 instead of the head's
resolution for a resultion it is messing up something in the display portion of
Mozilla.

I can send a screen cap to show what I mean from Single Head to BigDesktop for
the changes that happen.

This is how Mozilla Mail appears on Single Head (I think the way it should
appear)
