[Bug 1336994] [NEW] Panning and full screen window size broken when using HDMI port

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I'm running ubuntu 14.04 on a dell n7110.
The laptop has hybrid graphics: an intel (sandybrindge) and an nvidia (525m), which is optimus powered.
The built-in screen is wired to the intel card, while the HDMI port is rigged to the nvidia card.
I have nvidia-prime installed, this is in the nvidia-mode.
If logged in with default settings (HDMI being right-of built-in screen everything works fine.
Then all hell breaks loose when trying to switch them, so the HDMI display is on the left.

Two problems occur:
The panning on the HDMI display is set to the size of the whole desktop, so when I try to move my mouse to the right of the screen (onto the built-in display) the screen on the HDMI display follows the mouse cursor, scrolling, rendering half the desktop invisible.

The second problem is when I try to maximize a window on the HDMI
display. It acts like only the left of the screen (so an area like
300x1080px) is the whole display. Oddly the width of the display seems
to be about the same as the height difference between the heigth of the
two displays. If i set the top of the built-in display to be at the
half-height of the HDMI display, then the full screen width increases.
Note, that i can drag and move around my windows, but i can only resize
(by dragging the side with the mouse) them in the invalid full screen
area.

I hope my description will be clear enough, if not I'll post pictures,
or something.

These problems occur with kde, too.
