Run as requested (with the MiniDP to VGA) adaptor connected. Interestingly I tried this with a colleagues generic el cheapo MiniDP to {VGA,HDMI,DVI} adaptor and successfully got my monitors native resolution.
So for me at least it appears that the limited resolution issue only occurs with an official Apple MiniDP to VGA adaptor. But said adaptor worked fine in Vivid! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1510021 Title: After upgrade from vivid to wily external monitor has only limited resolutions To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1510021/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
