  • Thread-topic: Problem with RandR in Xquartz 2.7.4
The "strange" thing was the behaviour. Also if there should only 1 screen be used (xrandr -s "1920x1080") the screen starts in upper left edge of the secondary monitor (the left one) end it was possible to move the mouse up to the middle of the "primary" (right) monitor. The primary (right) monitor has a resolution of 1920x1200 normally and the left (secondary) (standard Macbook) display has a resolution of 1680x1050.

If I use xrandr with -s "1920x1080" both screens get black and I can move the mouse from left side of the left monitor to the right side of the right monitor. Leavinbg the fullscren with keyboard shortcurt will lead to the result of having the mouse blocked 1900 pixel from the left side of the left monitor (around 300 pixel right from the right monitors left side). typing then "xrandr -s "3200x1290" gets both screens back in full size without entering fullscreen mode again.

Here are the log from my testing with xrandr (I see nothing which looks strange):

Ok, it sounds like there's possibly a bug with quartz-wm not moving windows into the visible screen when sizing down the display.

So it look like everything is behaving correctly with RandR resolution switching, so the problem is likely with your other system not switching resolution for some reason.  Does it show anything relevant in log files?

Ho Jeremy,


small "correction" of "it works":
If I use 'xrandr -s "1920x1080"' it opens a requester where it asks to use RandR and opens a full screen.
But the screen doesn't have the requested size. It switches to full screen but with original resolution of 3600x1312 (and the xterm is probably in the upper left corner (outside the visible screen).

Best regards,


Volker

Hi Volker,

You didn't really answer my question regarding the command line utility.  Try using xrandr to set your display resolution to what you want on XQuartz 2.7.4 ... eg:
xrandr -s "1920x1080"

with XQuartz 2.7.4 (reinstalled with Installer)  I get exactly the same output but there is no requester where XQuartz asks to use RandR. The screen extends over both screens.
The screen size presented in the JDE are:
default:  3600x1290 (1Hz)
...
1920x1200 (60 Hz)
...

If I try to change to this resolution nothing happens (in 2.7.1. there is the RandR-Requester ...)

Hello,


I'm using X11 with a Solaris 10 system with XDM. Until XQuartz 2.7.1 (which I use now again) XQuartz asks me to activate the RandR-mode. If I allow this, he goes to full screen mode with a resolution of 1920x1200. If I change the resolution in Java Desktop System of Solaris the resolution of XQuartz is changed.
Now with 2.7.4 he dont ask and opens a screen with 3200x1300 pixel which is "splitted" between both monitors and not usable.
If I change the resolution in the Java Desktop system nothing happens. How to reactivate the RandR in actual XQuartz?

It works for me.  Try using the 'xrandr' command line utility.  Does it give you an error?

PS: Other problem: I get the error message: Could not init font path element tcp/fontserv.xx.yy:7500, removing from list! I know this (old) fontserver but I don't find where it is configured. In which config-File does XQuartz look for such information (since it's historic garbage)

XQuartz doesn't have anything like that by default.  You are probably adding it to the font path with a script in ~/.xinitrc.d
