Public bug reported: Binary package hint: compiz
When I attach a external display with a resolution larger than the resolution of my laptop and enable the screen in the screen resolution interface the desktop size does not change. What happens is that the contents of the screen of the laptop are shown on the main monitor, but the rest stays black. The mouse can move on the black, but the windows can not. switching desktop effects on and off fixes the problem. As can be expected the bug does not occur when desktop effects are disabled. This happens in a fully up to date Ubuntu 8.10 on a eee 901 which has a intel 945GME graphics card, but I suspect that is not hardware related. PS. Maybe this old bug is related. It is not the same since I do not get a total black screen. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/135418 ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Compiz does not reset desktop resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/317431 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
