I'm using Ubuntu 8.10 with a two monitor setup. I got it setup to work
fine with my monitors, then something happened in the last week (maybe
an update) that messed up my resolutions. Now when I go to System ->
Control Center -> Screen Resolution it does not identify my monitors,
and by default when I log in it mirrors the monitors, chooses the wrong
one as the primary, and it uses the wrong resolution. I can unmirror it,
but it won't let me choose the right resolution in one of the monitors
(1280x1025 is not listed as a choice). I can add the choice by running
xrandr --addmode VGA-0 1280x1024 and then I can see and choose the mode
and it works fine. However if I reboot and log back in I'm stuck in the
screwed up state again. I can't figure out how to save the settings. I
guess I can muck around with the xorg.conf file but I'd rather I didn't
have to. It was working fine earlier so it looks like a regression.
Currently the xorg.conf looks like this:
---
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Configured Screen Device"
Device "Configured Video Device"
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 2880 1200
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
---
My primary monitor is 1600x1200 and the other one is 1280x1024.
Thanks
