Description Stefan Nordhausen 2005-08-20 15:09:06 UTC

My display has a resolution of 1400x1050 pixels. When I log into fvwm, the
_height_ of the background picture is ok, but the _width_ is not. At the right
border of the screen, the picture starts again. Looking closer at it it seems
the background pic is only 1280 pixels wide, instead of the 1400 that I have. It
works with KDE and Windowmaker.

Anyone working on this? It is still there in beta4.

I know, you have a better chance reporting this bug to the original authors,  
at  http://www.fvwm.org/cgi-bin/fvwm-bug

Comment 3 Stefan Nordhausen 2005-09-07 10:08:28 UTC

Ahm, isn't this just a bug of Suse not providing/setting up a background picture
for 1400x1050? The wallpaper seems to be 1280x1050, so as far as I can see you
just need to add another wallpaper...

Comment 4 Lukas Tinkl 2005-09-20 12:25:54 UTC

I don't think it's reasonable to provide a wallpaper in every possible 
resolution, there are far too many. Instead, the WM should scale the wallpaper 
correctly no matter what. Clearly a bug in fvwm, anyways assigning to the new 
maintainer.

Comment 5 Pavel Nemec 2005-10-18 09:53:38 UTC

I think it is not bug of fvwm. 
Fvwm simple rescale picture vertically. There is no simple workaround, either provide non standard wallpaper or ugly stretch wallpaper on background. 
I think rightest solution is create new wallpaper with proper resolution.
Copy /etc/X11/fvwm2/system.fvwm2rc to ~/.fvwm2.rc and add line 
Exec fvwm-root you_picture.png

Comment 6 Pavel Nemec 2005-10-18 12:32:08 UTC

fvwm-root cannot resize picture
so i will use xli in default config file.
"Exec fvwm-root you_picture.png" -> "Exec xli -onroot -border -fillscreen"
heal this bug.
I will fix this for beta.
Closing this bug.
