Holy schmoly! The xandr thing worked! I did: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ xrandr --output LVDS --off [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
and suddenly: Poof - the panel bar extended to the rest of the screen! If you were here, I'd buy you a drink! Now, how do I make that permanent, and is it a bug? (Note - in this effort, I haven't tried running without the xorg.conf file because the last time I did that, it ran through its gyrations and ended up producing a file that ONLY let me see the low-res screen - in other words, I was no longer able to crank the resolution beyond 1024 x 768. However, if you still need that, I'll save off my existing file and run it again. Please let me know. I'm so happy right now, I'd do anything! -- [gutsy] ati open source driver issues with external monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/156550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
