[Bug 561577] Re: Compiz will not start when using dual monitor (spanning)

 

To tell in truth I have the same situation. I was able to use compiz and
visual effects during Interpid, Jaunty and Karmic use. And after distro-
upgrade I was completely surprised that compiz had not started at all
with the following error message: compiz (core) - Warn: Exceeded max
texture size

I have the following configuration of my dual screen system:

sshishov@n101664:~$ xrandr -q | grep -Pi '(screen|\*|-0)'
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2048 x 1280, maximum 4096 x 4096
VGA-0 connected 1024x1280+1024+0 left (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm x 301mm
   1280x1024      60.0 +   75.0* 
DVI-0 connected 1024x1280+0+0 left (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 376mm x 301mm
   1280x1024      60.0 +   75.0*

As I understand properly you have chosen the best solution between users
who cannot work with compiz using exactly 2048 resolution in one
dimension and us who can do it and really need in it. In this case I
wonder why did you make this choice? If mentioned users cannot use
compiz onto their computers then I suppose they should use either
metacity as window-decorator or smaller resolution. Why should we suffer
of their problems?

If I'm mistaken please correct me and explain where is my omission.
Thanks!
