** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Confirmed
** Description changed:
I'm extending my laptop monitor with a native resolution of 1366×768
with an external display with a native resolution of 1280×1024. This
situation is poorly handled.
Here's a representation of my setup, which I mirrored in the Monitor
configuration:
