Alex Liam Kempster, thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Oneiric reached EOL on May 9, 2013. See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
Is this an issue on a supported release? ** Tags added: bios-outdated-f13 ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Committed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/914713 Title: virtual display memory too small, primary display resolution incorrect Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Occurs when adding a secondary display to the system. Both screens have been set to there standard resolution. When applying changes the following error message occurs: required virtual size does not fit available size: requested=(3600, 1080), minimum=(320, 200), maximum=(1920, 1920) I am looking to create an extended desktop. The system does not pick up on all graphics cards properly, i.e. does not recognise the two secondary graphics cards. It seems like the system is attempting to create one screen width wise and two screens vertically based on the size of the "requested" display compared to the actual requested size. The main monitor should be 1920 x 1080 @ 60Hz and the second monitor that is being added should be 1280x1024 @ 60Hz. The primary monitor, with secondary turned off looses 45mm of screen space widthwise and 26mm screen space vertically. It is centered the display is 24 inches from bottom left to top right. It would be first a benefit to get the secondary display working regardless of display size. When reducing resolution of the secondary display as much as possible it will accept the changes but display the secondary desktop in a small box embedded into the desktop on the primary monitor.
