[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 640609] Re: desktop background has wrong size when zoomed with laptop and external monitor attached
I opened system preferences monitor, which showed a little note that it will open the nvidia-settings instead of the regular gnome monitor dialog. I then followed your idea but a bit differently as it did not work first. I marked the laptop screen as the primary monitor and now the backgrounds do not overlap. I saved the changes to xorg.conf. However, when I logged out and the login screen appeared, the little box where you enter your password was not centered on the big monitor but instead centered at the top-left region of the screen, as if it was centered around 1280x800 resolution and not the 1650x960 resolution. I fixed this again after editing the xorg.conf file and settings the DFP resolution to 1650x960 and now the backgrounds do not overlap, the login screen's box is centered, and when the external monitor is not attached the laptop monitor is working correctly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/640609 Title: desktop background has wrong size when zoomed with laptop and external monitor attached ___ 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 think that what you are seeing is your laptop screen being overlaid on your external monitor. Go to System, Preferences, Monitor. I have laptop w. docking station and external monitor and the following worked for me. Drag and drop laptop screen so it does not overlap monitor Go to System, Preferences. Power management, on AC Power, Put Computer to sleep when incactive for: Never When laptop lid closed Blank screen. ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Assignee: (unassigned) = ijf8090 (i-finlay) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/640609 Title: desktop background has wrong size when zoomed with laptop and external monitor attached ___ 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

This is the Xorg log after tweaking my xorg.conf (setting both CRT and DFP to the same resolution). Do you wish to see the Xorg log after restoring the original xorg.conf file as the bug appears again? ** Attachment added: Xorg.0.log https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/640609/+attachment/1730066/+files/Xorg.0.log -- desktop background has wrong size when zoomed with laptop and external monitor attached https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/640609 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to nvidia-graphics-drivers 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
