[SOLVED] Two bugs likely related to a large multi-monitor setup

I have three monitors:

Two issues have started since setting up the computer with these two monitors

• The cursor gets huge when on the landscape screens inside of certain apps, chrome, geany, my ide.

• Maximizing applications on VGA1 or DP2 cause the window to overlap or underlap tint2 (depending on settings in tint2rc and openbox rc.xml).

Re: [SOLVED] Two bugs likely related to a large multi-monitor setup

• Maximizing applications on VGA1 or DP2 cause the window to overlap or underlap tint2 (depending on settings in tint2rc and openbox rc.xml).

[...]

strut_policy = none

You need to use:

strut_policy = follow_size

https://github.com/BunsenLabs/bunsen-co … int2rc#L76

This makes the window edges align with the tint2 border when they are maximised, "strut_policy = none" makes the windows fullscreen when maximised.

Not sure about your mouse issue, do the screens have different DPI values?

xdpyinfo|grep dots

Please also post the startup script used to configure your screens.

Re: [SOLVED] Two bugs likely related to a large multi-monitor setup

Thanks for the response Head_on_a_Stick. The reason I have changed to strut_policy = none is because there is a bug it seems in xrandr (I saw the bug on a google search.) that causes maximizing windows when stacked with a horizontal toolbar like the ones on the left to not work correctly. The symptoms are really odd. Say I move a window to VGA1 and then I decide to click maximize, it will jump to DP1 and then it will sit at the top border being only the size of the window's chrome. Restoring the window down to original size will bring it back to VGA1 as it was before I maximized.

With strut_policy = none, the windows will maximize correctly on the displays however they underlap my tint2 bars. I tried to set top margin of 30 in openbox but it doesn't seem to apply to every display from what I can tell. VGA1 is currently the only monitor that maximizing works correctly. DP1 and DP2 underlap when maximized. I assume it is because the margin is only applying to position 0:0 of the screen space.

For the command you asked:

$ xdpyinfo|grep dots
  resolution:    96x96 dots per inch

Again, remember the cursor issue only affects certain applications, moving the cursor to tint in the same window will change the cursor back to the correct size.

Re: [SOLVED] Two bugs likely related to a large multi-monitor setup

Here is my screen layout as configured by ARandR:

$ cat ~/.screenlayout/default.sh 
#!/bin/sh
xrandr --output HDMI2 --off --output HDMI1 --off --output DP2 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 1920x240 --rotate right --output DP1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x1080 --rotate normal --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 --pos 0x0 --rotate normal

Re: [SOLVED] Two bugs likely related to a large multi-monitor setup

Okay, I was able to get a little closer by doing the following:

$ diff Documents/tmp-tint2rc .config/tint2/tint2rc61c61
< panel_position = top center horizontal
---
> panel_position = top left vertical

$ diff Documents/tmp-rc.xml .config/openbox/rc.xml
158c158
<     <top>30</top>
---
>     <top>0</top>
160c160
<     <left>0</left>
---
>     <left>30</left>

What happens now is that the left two screens maximize correctly. However the right portrait screen still underlaps the tint panel. For me this is less than optimal for a setup since I prefer the horizontal bar, especially since I have the clock with dates and text in it, but at least I can maximize on the two left screens now, rather than only on VGA1.

Re: [SOLVED] Two bugs likely related to a large multi-monitor setup

I did find this: http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=38710

It seems promising and discusses some of the same issues. I know that BL uses a script, bl-tint2-session to start tint2. If I go that route, what would be the best way to run a second tint2 panel? Should I call tint2 directly?

Re: [SOLVED] Two bugs likely related to a large multi-monitor setup

Well, due to the bug that keeps strut_policy = follow_size from maximizing properly I can't seem to use the transparent tint2 panel to create the margins I need on each screen... Back to square one I think.

Use the tint2 Chooser script in `Menu -> Preferences -> Tint2` - you run as many as you like.

Re: [SOLVED] Two bugs likely related to a large multi-monitor setup

Thanks damo, that is helpful in configuring quickly. I also noted that `bl-tint2-session` reads in `~/.config/tint2/tint2-sessionfile` line by line to create multiple tint2 panels. So I edited it to include each of my tint2 panels, and I was able to keep ~/.config/openbox/autostart having only `(sleep 2s; bl-tint2-session) &`. My current tint2-sessionfile:

$ cat tint2-sessionfile 
/home/nalipaz/.config/tint2/tint2rc
/home/nalipaz/.config/tint2/dp1-tint2rc
/home/nalipaz/.config/tint2/dp2-tint2rc

By using three different panels I am now able to configure on per-monitor basis and workaround the bug in the display of a panel in the middle of a "virtual screen". Seems that there is a note about this in tint2 panel settings:

As a result I have edited my panels to display as:

The last issue I have is that the cursor is still enormous in applications. It is strange that it only becomes enormous once I mouse over an element in the application that excepts input.

The tint2 Chooser (bl-tint2zen) writes the sessionfile when you choose tint2s, and this is read by bl-tint2-session. There is no need to manually edit it, unless you particularly want to of course.

Re: [SOLVED] Two bugs likely related to a large multi-monitor setup

damo, thanks for the info on the tint2 chooser, I wasn't aware of that. I am now quite sure that everything at least works as far as normal window operation.

The only thing I can't figure out still is this enormous cursor I am getting on all windows that have input fields. On configuration windows like the tint2 theme editor I only got the large cursor on the text inputs. On things like chrome I get it everywhere. Intellij IDE also has it everywhere with the exception of the window frame (the portion you normally use to move it around).

Re: [SOLVED] Two bugs likely related to a large multi-monitor setup

Okay, I figured out the mouse cursor issue. I don't know how this might affect other things but it works for me as of now. I found this blog post http://blog.saginda.com/2014/03/27/mult … n-openbox/ where the author says he had the same issue and he solved it by adding the following into ~/.Xresources:

Xcursor.theme: DMZ-White
Xcursor.size: 32

I changed size to 24, since it seemed more appropriate on my screen and logged out/in, problem was solved. Thanks for the help guys.
