[Xorg 1.18] Menu's not visible
I'm running the displaylink software on Fedora 23 with kernel 4.2.3 and X.org server 1.18.0 RC 1 on a Macbook pro.
I can get two display to work but there is an issue with all kinds of menu's (right click and other): they are not visible. Menu's are there: if you use the arrow keys and press enter, the selected action will happen. It only happens on the two displaylink attached screens, not on the laptop screen itself. Furthermore: in the directory /var/log/displaylink there are several files but they all contain random strings. What's the deal here? I also have a lot of trouble with xrandr. It seems I can use it once and then it gives me: floating point exception. Anything I can do to fix this? |

I've downgraded Xorg-server to 1.17 (from 1.18) and this solves the issue. The current displaylink drivers don't work properly with the latest Xorg-server.
However, the frequent crashes of xrandr remain. Futhormore, the mouse pointer is 'laggy'. It seems to have a tail even on the native display of my laptop when using an external screen. |

There's indeed a bug with DisplayLink and xorg 1.18. I confirm it (no drop down menu, no right click etc...)
Would it be possible to know when this will be fixed? Thanks |

The bug is within xorg X Server 1.18
The Bug is in the X-Server - the same issue arises using other graphic drivers other multi-screen setups ...
Have the guys from Xorg fix it.... Meanwhile you can fix the entire problem using a downgraded X-Server form F22 with just this simple command: sudo dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg Afterwards you can add the line: exclude=xorg-x11-server-Xorg at the bottom to the file /etc/dnf/dnf.conf in order to hold back the updates next time you update your system using "dnf update" After just a simple reboot your menus will probably work as expected Last edited by ColdFire; 01-24-2016 at 12:15 PM. |

menus work in Xorg without Displaylink...
Quote:
I have an useless Dell D3100 dock now, and I'm forced to use Dell's USB-C to VGA adapter (code 470 ABNC) since, with it, I can use the external monitor and correctly see the context menus. BTW, right-clicking on the Gnome desktop shows the menu in place, while right-clicking in application windows shows the menu in the notebook's built-in screen or outside the external screen, as a single thin light row in the upper left corner. DLsupport tool logs attached. Let me know if I can further help with logs/settings/etc. My setup: Dell XPS-13 9350 Dell D3100 usb dock Dell USB-C to VGA adapter (code 470 ABNC) Nec Multisync EA261WM (HDMI to DVI cable) Fedora 23 kernel 4.4.0 (required for the wireless adapter to work) compiled for Fedora 23 Xorg 1.18.0-2 (distribution's default) DisplayLink driver 1.0.335 Last edited by mdec; 02-17-2016 at 01:55 PM. |

Do we have a bug number reference ?
So is there a bug number with XOrg or redhat or someone we can track ?
