jan, why do you set this to Fix Released? With which kernel does this work for you? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Confirmed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu.

Gizmo, does this mean that you have simply collected these kernels during all the time and never removed old kernels from your system? I do not know where to find old kernels for testing. Therefore I was asking you. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop

Yep, I found Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic in one of my old backups. Too bad Ubuntu doesn't maintain a repository of kernels from previous daily builds. And actually, I'm surprised that they don't. Oh well. Guess I'll either wait until this bug is fixed before a clean install of the final release or

Regarding Ubuntu 13.04: I just noticed that I am NOT restricted to a resolution of 1024x768 when using a kernel from an earlier daily build. Rather, mirroring works properly again in Ubuntu 13.04 with the Linux 3.8.0-7-generic kernel. Mirroring may also work with kernels that are more recent

As described in comment #29 the problem can be solved by downgrading the kernel, so it is most probably a regression in the kernel. Adding kernel task ... ** Also affects: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High **

Regarding Ubuntu 13.04: In addition to working properly with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-7-generic kernel, mirroring also works properly in Ubuntu 13.04 with the mainline 3.8.0 kernel. However, at least for me, mirroring does NOT work properly in Ubuntu 13.04 with the mainline 3.8.1 kernel or with the

QUESTION: I know where to find earlier mainline kernels. But are earlier versions of the Ubuntu kernels available for download? If so, from where? I'd like to test mirroring with the Ubuntu 3.8.0-8 and 3.8.0-9 kernels. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop

Usually you go to https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux and tehn click Full ChangeLog at the upper right. But for the kernel the data has grown too big for Launchpad to deliver it. So I am asking the kernel developers for a working method of downloading old kernel binary packages here. --

Thanks Till. I tested a few more mainline kernels, including 3.8.3, 3.8.4, 3.8.5, 3.8.6, and 3.8.8. Unfortunately, mirroring also doesn't work properly with any of those tested mainline kernels. So at present, at least for me, the only relatively recent kernels that properly support mirroring
