UNSOLVED Where did my window borders go?

Where did my window borders go? - cc7gir
This is a common mistake caused by disabling some plugins in CompizConfig Settings Manager. To fix, open the manager (System > Preferences > CompizConfig Settings Manager) and find the "Window Decorations" plugin. Check the box and you're all set.

nope.. do that too
the problems still exist...

i think my VGA doesnt support the transclued border

[falconindy]

Enable window decoration in Compiz. Make sure you have


gtk-window-decorator --replace
for the 'command' field.

I have the same problem on my Dell Latitude E4300...I have a 19" screen attached. If I try and increase the resolution to 1280x1024, I lose my boarder panels.

Look for errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log

It's possible that there is a rendering problem due to a driver issue or perhaps a hardware fault.

I was able to get 1280x1024 working in Jaunty.....also the Desktop extends past the screen in my 19" monitor which is now running on 1024x768...too large for my liking.

tgalati4@tpad-Gloria7 ~ $ gtf 1280 1024 60

# 1280x1024 @ 60.00 Hz (GTF) hsync: 63.60 kHz; pclk: 108.88 MHz
Modeline "1280x1024_60.00" 108.88 1280 1360 1496 1712 1024 1025 1028 1060 -HSync +Vsync

Run gtf for your resolution and desired refresh rate (usually 60 Hz for LCD, but 55 Hz and 50 Hz also sometimes works)

Cut and past and put into the correct place in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

[dunbrokin]

Thanks for that....but

a) where exactly is the "correct" place in this file

and

b) do I cut and paste everything which comes up as a result of that command?

[tgalati4]

Place it in the monitor section.

Cut and paste both the comment (#) line and the modeline.

Make a backup first:

sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg_orig.conf

gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Save the file, and log out then back in again. No need to reboot.

Now realize that this just tells xorg (the X graphical server) the exact parameters to address the resolution and refresh rate that you specified. Normally this would be the native LCD resolution and the native refresh rate. You might have to do some research to confirm those numbers.

Now, your graphics chip may not be able to drive those specific frequencies. If that is the case, the errors will show up in your home directory (.xsession-errors) or in /var/log/Xorg.0.log.

If you do get errors, post them for diagnosis. That is why log files exist.

[dunbrokin]

Tried at both 60 and 80 refresh rate....neither worked.

Try 50, 55 and 56 Hz.

No different....all give exactly the same screen.
