I'm seeing this on Hardy beta amd64, on a Sony Vaio VGN-FE41Z laptop that has a Nvidia Geforce 7600 Go and 1280x800 digital flat panel (DFP).
If I use displayconfig-gtk (Applications > Other > Screens and Graphics) to configure the external analogue 1280x1024 LCD as Screen 2 Extended, the restarted X-session runs the Vaio DFP at 640x480 or 800x600 but usually within a 1280x800 panning area - moving the mouse to the screen edges causes it to scroll the 'hidden' parts into view. Even if Screen 2 is disabled and X restarted, the low-resolution is retained. I did a series of ten changes from the original installed /etc/X11/xorg.conf and found the reason seems to be that internal DFP is set as Plug 'n' Play and resolution badly set. The original (working) xorg.conf had no resolution over-rides. I tried to force Screen 1 monitor type to get 1280x800 with various levels of success. It seemed as if whenever the dual-screen configuration was attempted it messed up Screen 1 resolution totally. I've attached an archive containing the xorg.conf and each backup: xorg.conf - Good,working version (copied from xorg.conf.1) xorg.conf.1 Original configuration, first backup xorg.conf.2 - xorg.conf.10 Variations created by displayconfig-gtk ** Attachment added: "10 Hardy xorg.conf variations" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12935310/hardy-beta-xorg-conf-collection.tar.gz -- screen and graphics, 1st monitor resolution changes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/134857 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
