Yeah, dual-head was being limited to a max of 2048 height or width on 945, but that has been fixed. It's a kernel issue really, and if the patch hasn't already been included in karmic's kernel, it soon will be. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) = linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Released -- [i945GME] intel dual screen not working on karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 396898] Re: [i945GME] intel dual screen not working on karmic
there are definitively some improvement on the normal xorg intel driver (or gnome-display-properties) i had the same problem on my other notebook (a 15 acer with intel graphics) i just test this notebook again at work, and now the dual screen work ! i didn't use xorg-edgers on this one. but i guess that there is still a problem on my 10, because the max resolution is 2048x2048 (funnily windows and macos don't have that limitation) whereas it is 4096x4096 on my 15 a possible solution could be to increase the maximum resolution for the GMA 950 like it is on the X3100 here the output of xrandr on my 15 (i don't have the 10 right now) Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2960 x 1050, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA connected 1680x1050+1280+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 434mm x 270mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.0 60.0 800x60075.0 60.3 640x48075.0 59.9 720x40070.1 LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm 1280x800 60.0*+ 1024x768 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0 832x62474.6 800x60085.1 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x48085.0 72.8 75.0 59.9 720x40085.0 640x40085.1 640x35085.1 TV disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) -- [i945GME] intel dual screen not working on karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 396898] Re: [i945GME] intel dual screen not working on karmic
It looks like xserver-xorg-video-intel from xorg-edgers PPA (https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/ppa) has the fix included. However, my guess is that it will only be fixed with KMS disabled (see https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-x/2009-June/000578.html for how). The corresponding kernel patch hasn't been commited yet (we should be able to see it in this log when it is: http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/anholt/drm- intel.git;a=summary) and from there until it is in the mainline kernel and built for ubuntu, I don't know how long it takes. I think the kernel patch is necessary to fix it for KMS. -- [i945GME] intel dual screen not working on karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

when the screen are black, i also notice that the cursor change... for exemple when i move over a textzone the pointer change to text pointer (but like i said, i see nothing :( ) i did other tests with the screen position utility instead having both screen side by side, i put one on the top and the other at the bottom in this configuration, my netbook worked well with 1024x600 and the external monitor with 1024x768 so dual screen only work if the width is the same when there are in top/bottom position and dual screen also work if the height is the same when there are side by side -- [i945GME] intel dual screen not working on karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

i did some tests funnilly when doing dual screen with both screen at 800x600 (not clone mode) it worked i modify the screen size on my netbook at 1024x600 and keep a resolution of 800x600 on the external screen and it worked to then i had the idea to increase the external screen's resolution to 1024x768 and it bugs ... only the cursor was visible, both screen were black (no background, no icon, no window) when i increase the resolution even more, then X won't start, maybe because of the 2048x2048 limitation what is funny, is that this limitation did not exist on windows or on mac os (yes i tried hackintosh) -- [i945GME] intel dual screen not working on karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

i just tested a new configuration netbook with 1024x600 (on top) external with 120x1024 (on bottom) and so the dual screen work :) when i put them side by side, the utility ask for a virtual resolution (in the previous cases, it did not ask and did not add modifications to xorg.conf..) i will do further test with higher resolutions, but i'm at home, and my external monitor only goes up to 1280x1024, whereas the external monitor i use at work does better ... if it work with a top/bottom configuration, i will use it as long as this bug is not corrected, but it's a bad usability ps : it would be cool to have the screen utility work like on mac. for exemple putting a high virtual resolution in xorg.conf so user can put there screens where they want, without needing to logout to modify xorg -- [i945GME] intel dual screen not working on karmic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/396898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

I didn't think about it at first, but this looks like it could be this upstream bug: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=21190 This was marked as fixed today. It has been committed to the development version of the driver (http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/driver/xf86 -video-intel/commit/?id=d655a3ff423e69c19a5dc07140cbf3caaa32cb86), but there is a kernel fix which hasn't landed yet. There are two ubuntu bugs which has marked that bug as its upstream, bug 391418 and bug 351756.
