[3ddesktop-dev] Re: gotoright, gotoleft not always exiting

Brad,

Did you commit the fix recently? I tried last month's cvs and the behavior was better, but still had occasional troubles. Also, my configuration made use of zoom. I know you mentioned fixing this before, but to my knowledge there are still some quirks.

Latest quirk:

The 3ddesktop daemon causes 100% cpu usage spikes every couple of seconds (notably, this affects movement of the mouse cursor in X11). I think this only happens when I run a 1024x1524 display (two 1024x768 frame buffers merged top and bottom, open source Xorg x11 6.8.1 ATI radeon r250 driver mergedfb). Last time I tried it with 2048x768 (side by side) there were some graphic corruption issues with the text, but no cpu spikes. Also, the side-by-side looks VERY impressive. Top-and-Bottom looks kind of strange, but that is what I'm running now. Again, the mouse movement in this configuration is impaired, so I haven't used 3ddesktop in a while.

I have been very busy with the day job, and also volunteer work for Freematrix Radio / Gentoo Linux. Too busy unfortunately, to spend time tracking down the cpu spike issue's cause. I will make some time ASAP to get you more information.

Rick,

Does this only happen using modes that do not zoom out?  For example "flip" or
when you enable the nozoom switch?  Does it not exit every other time?

If so then it has been fixed and checked into cvs.

cheers,
Brad

Yes.


We don't know why.

Thank you,

Hi folks. I just found this very cool app and the list. I'm seeing some strange behavior with the gotoleft and gotoright flags.

It seems that around half the time the 3ddesk process will exit as documented, and the other half it won't -- I'll have to hit the return key to lock in on the screen as it is shown.

I'm using gnome2/sawfish and have defined hotkeys to the commands "3ddesk --gotoright" and "3ddesk --gotoleft", and I'm controlling animation speed, mode, etc. via the 3ddesktop.conf file. Obviously, I haven't enabled the dontexit flag. :)

I'm running XFree86 version 4.3.0.1 (Debian), with nvidia driver version 1.0-6629.

Thanks,
Rick Reynolds
