Public bug reported: I would like to simply have my internal LCD and external CRT monitors to go into clone mode. A resolution that both the monitor and the computer can agree upon.
By default, after having installed the nvidia-current binary driver, the fn-f4 (monitor toggle) sets the X desktop to a large size and then moving the mouse around shows what it around it. Going into nvidia settings, the panning is by default 1280x800 when I would like both monitors and the X desktop to be 1024x768. The nvidia-settings Basic/Advanced button allows you to change the panning to 1024x768, which is a workaround, but don't expect my mother to know how to do this. Once this is done, I can see most of my screen, although some is cut off (see screenshot).
