Hmm. (I'm presently staying on my main system, Kubuntu 8.04: xserver- xorg-video-intel v 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu13.7) It appears, that the screen size is set to a square with a side as long as the largest display's width at X-server's startup, with no chance to make it bigger later, xrandr printing "xrandr: screen cannot be larger than..." (is this the bug?)
Current workaround: set the screen size in xorg.conf to the maximum likely to occur. Found here: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-general-1/xrandr-screen-cannot-be-larger-than-...-595649/ In my case, I set it to 2680x2680 by adding the following lines to the screen section: Subsection "Display" Virtual 2680 2680 EndSubSection Haven't tried on Intrepid or Jaunty yet. -- [i965] available resolutions missing on external monitor when plugged after X server startup https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/310366 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
