| ochosi | i would start by initializing the scale to 1.0 | 00:08 |
|---|---|---|
| ochosi | but obviously that's just part of the solution | 00:08 |
| ochosi | although... actually that may be fine in any case | 00:08 |
| ali1234 | it will change the bug from "all monitors turn off when i plug or unplug one" to "all monitors scale resets to 1 when i plug or unplug one" | 00:09 |
| ochosi | the scale is in xfconf anyway and that's what it should try to load when going through the outputs | 00:09 |
| ali1234 | which is slightly less annoying, but still really annoying | 00:09 |
| ochosi | did you set the scale by hand? | 00:10 |
| ochosi | i mean i guess you didn't | 00:10 |
| ochosi | cause otherwise xfsettingsd should have remembered it and applied it | 00:10 |
| ali1234 | no, i never touched any scale setting | 00:10 |
| ochosi | all outputs that are connected are remembered in the "Default" profile | 00:10 |
| ochosi | so the scale is also retained there and that's what should be applied | 00:11 |
| ochosi | i'm just surprised you're the first one to run into this bug | 00:11 |
| ochosi | it sounds like i should have experienced it as well | 00:11 |
| ochosi | you could try to set the scale values in xfconf to 1.0 for one of your outputs | 00:12 |
| ochosi | just to see how that changes the behavior | 00:12 |
| ochosi | or to 2.0 if you want | 00:12 |
| ali1234 | it wont change the behaviour | 00:15 |
| ali1234 | because it calculates the screen size before the scale is loaded | 00:15 |
| ochosi | another issue i see with scale is that one time it's wrapped in #ifdef HAS_RANDR_ONE_POINT_THREE and the other time it's not | 00:17 |
| ali1234 | yes | 00:18 |
| ali1234 | there are a lot of problems with this code | 00:18 |
| ali1234 | i'd have to read all of it to figure out hw to fix it properly | 00:18 |
| ali1234 | https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15971 | 00:20 |
| ubottu | bugzilla.xfce.org bug 15971 in Display Settings "All monitors turn off when adding or removing one due to uninitialized values in crtc struct" [Normal,New] | 00:20 |
| ochosi | well, i'm afraid that would be the same for me too | 00:21 |
| ochosi | every time i have to fix something there i need to read the whole code | 00:22 |
| ali1234 | well i'll ping perfinion with the bug, since he wrote this code | 00:23 |
| ali1234 | i'll read the code tomorrow :) | 00:24 |
