** Attachment added: "displaysettings_bad_portrait.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1312471/+attachment/4099673/+files/displaysettings_bad_portrait.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to unity-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1312471 Title: Screen Display settings can not configure triplehead three display setup Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Macbook 13 retina Connect three displays via the 2 DisplayPort and 1 HDMI ports (passive adaptors, so they appear in xrandr as HDMI1, HDMI2, HDMI3) (order displays from left to right as HDMI2,HDMI1,HDMI3 - I haven't tested other orders) (monitors are portrait) Boot Ubuntu 14.04 with laptop lid closed (all 3 external monitors will become active) Open Screen Display settings Turn off "Mirror displays" Click "Detect Displays" or "Launcher placement" * Problem: displays are identified by name, which is useless if the displays are same make and model (as is common) (it would be better to use numbers 1,2,3 as Gnome settings does) Select rotation "Anticlockwise" for each monitor Try to rearrange displays in GUI * Problem: HDMI3 "clings" to the (turned off) "Built-in Display". Can't change it with respect to other displays. - Because of the "clinging" there is a big gap in the GUI between the displays - There is no problem rearranging HDMI1 & HDMI2 with respect to each other - But HDMI1 & HDMI2 can't be placed to the right of HDMI3 or the Built-in Display - HDMI3 can't be placed to right of the Built-In Display Order as HDMI2, HDMI1, HDMI3 to match physical order Try to drag a window around the displays * Problem: Windows can't be placed across the centre and right displays (HDMI1 and HDMI3) * Problem: Boundary between centre and right displays is very sticky, even though "Sticky edges" is OFF for all displays in Screen Display settings ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 14.04 Package: unity-control-center 14.04.3+14.04.20140410-0ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.13.0-24.46-generic 3.13.9 Uname: Linux 3.13.0-24-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.14.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Fri Apr 25 00:05:32 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-03-27 (28 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Beta amd64 (20140326) SourcePackage: unity-control-center UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) usr_lib_unity-control-center: activity-log-manager 0.9.7-0ubuntu14 deja-dup 30.0-0ubuntu4 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1312471/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
