In pursuit of an Compiz/Mesa problem( I installed a patched version of mesa from PPA ( https://edge.launchpad.net/~cavedon/+archive/ppa ) and now use emerald instead of metacity as window decorator and I can't reproduce this bug anymore. I see though now different behaviour, maybe related. It seems that depending on the Virtual setting in the "Display" subsection of xorg.conf, gnome-display-settings is acting differently.
1. Virtual 3120 1050: gnome-display-settings report a max resolution of 1280x1...@85 on my second LCD display (actually a beamer). And is perfectly able to extend my desktop without problems and with compiz working. 2. Changing to Virtual 3040 1200, reboot: gnome-display-settings report a max resolution of 1600x1...@60 on my second LCD display. And is again perfectly able to extend my desktop to this higher resolution without problems and with compiz working. I would expect gnome-display-settings always to report the maximum available resolution. -- gnome-display-properties sets a to low virtual screen size https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445871 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
