#DUAL MONITOR DIFFERENT RESOLUTIONS DRIVERS#

Whether this is just me being lucky, and whether it has anything whatsoever to do with my video card drivers (ie, is it fixed for everyone?) I have no idea.

#DUAL MONITOR DIFFERENT RESOLUTIONS WINDOWS#

It seems the issue has been fixed somewhere along the line, (maybe in a recent version of Compiz?) so when I repeat the same thing as above, all of my terminal windows spawn in the viewable area and can be used, exactly how it should work. The only way I could actually use these terminals in the dead zone would be to go into 'Workspace Switcher' (aka, Expo) and then drag the windows down into the viewable area. Middle clicking it have a dozen times would spawn instances of the Terminal above the viewable monitor area (dead zone) until that was full, then it would spawn in the viewable area. Multi Output Mode: 'Use active output device' I'm not sure, though, that the issue is particularly related to Unity/Compiz, because I can see the same 'dead zone' when using GNOME 2 classic interface. To make it show, I have to click on BFB first (Dash shows), then click BFB a second time (Dash hides, by Launcher keep showing for a second or a second and a half, allowing me to interact with it). Unity Launcher does not appear when approching my mouse pointer of the left of screen #1. you should just take a look at the pictures. When I logically position monitor #1 on the right-hand side of monitor #2. When monitor #1 is logically positionned on left-hand side of monitor #2, I can see a small part of screen #1's display in my screen #2. Video card: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series, driver: radeon This brainstorm idea from 12 months ago highlights the issue some more: brainstorm. Other operating systems (like Windows) do this 'dead zone' thing too, except that they a) don't allow the mouse to move into the dead zone and b) don't spawn applications in the dead zone.ДЄ quick fix would be to change the Compiz 'Place Window' plugin settings to have applications spawn under the cursor, but this still doesn't fix the fundamental issue and wouldn't prevent the mouse from moving into the area. It's particularly frustrating because the launcher 'peeks' out at you when you get close, but I can't actually get it to stay out because I am over shooting all the time. ДЄttached image shows the setup I have, with the virtual dead zone highlighted with orange post it notes.ДЄs a side effect of this bug, activating the Unity launcher by using the corner hot-spot becomes almost impossible due to the corner technically not existing anymore - it exists vertically, but the horizontal 'roof' of the BFB is no longer physically there, so I'm constantly overshooting the hot corner. Unless I open up workspace switcher and 'pull' it down into the visible area. This is a problem in itself, because the mouse can be 'lost' in the dead zone and not easily found unless the user knows where to look.Д«ut the main issue is that Compiz sees this 'dead zone' as a fairly enticing place to stick windows (obviously because it reckons there is nothing there) - so whenever I start a new application (in this case a Terminal window), it spawns in the dead zone, and I can't see it. You can clearly see there is a black 'dead zone' below the large monitor to the right, and a huge dead zone above the laptop screen on the left. The mouse can be moved into this dead zone, and when I initiate 'workspace switcher' it looks like attached image. The laptop has a screen resolution of 1280 x 800, the 24' monitor is 1920 x 1080.Д«ecause the laptop sits lower than the monitor, and because of both the resolution and physical size differences, a virtual 'dead zone' appears above my laptop. I have a 15.4' laptop that I connect to a 24' Dell monitor when I'm at work. Result: firefox should not end up squished into the left side of the screen.
