Hi,
Since recently everything was working fine, then all the sudden, probably after a system update (but cannot remember which one), the windows are not resizing automatically when dragged to the edges of the screens.
I have tried the following:
resetting Unity (it did reset all my other preferences but did not solve the problem!!);
updating my AMD driver to the post-release one or download the latest from AMD website, no change!
Disabling the grid settings in Compiz manager and re-enabling them... still no effect...
... very annoying as it is extremely useful when working with many windows on 2 screens!!
Any idea, anyone?
Cheers,
Rv
Update: I found out that although I had the "post-release" FGLRX driver installed, the one in use as seen in "Details" was "VESA: TURKS". So I remove the FGLRX driver and install the AMD catalyst driver (amd-driver-installer-catalyst-13.1-linux-x86.x86_64), it install OK, but when I look into "details" it says that the driver currently used is still "VESA: TURKS". The card is a Radeon HD 6670, which actually uses the Turks GPU, so I guess the driver is the right one.
Still no success in getting the windows resizing working, so probably not the driver?? But I cannot find a setting about the Grid in Compiz that does not look right!! Any idea?
