screen not updated outside 1680x1050

screen not updated outside 1680x1050

[Frédéric Bron]

My screen resolution is 1920x1200.
The X windows are badly updated (sometimes yes, most of the time no)
outside the top-left area 1680x1050.
My problems are seen with xterm, gv, gvim, rxvt-x... so I think comes
from X.org.
To produce the problem: start an X windows program, then move the
window to the right and go back to the left. For gvim, it is
particularly annoying when maximizing the window.

However /var/log/XWin.0.log says it read the good screen dimensions:

	Looks like the system doesn't see your whole resolution at startup.  I'd pass "-screen 0 1920x1200" to XWin.exe.  I tried this to reduce my screen resolution, and saw things similar to what you describe outside the declared screensize.


	HTH,

Mike

Works fine, thanks a lot! In fact I saw only the following lines so
that I thought it was OK with the resolution:

2009-12-17 13:47:46 winWindowProc - WM_DISPLAYCHANGE - orig bpp: 32,
last bpp: 32, new bpp: 32
2009-12-17 13:47:46 winWindowProc - WM_DISPLAYCHANGE - new width: 1920
new height: 1200

Frédéric

As you have discovered, XWin doesn't understand about display resolution 
changes.  This is actually mentioned in the XWin man page, and at [1]
