Ooooooh: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Xorg_RandR_1.2:
"X RandR is used to configure which display ports are enabled (e.g. LCD, VGA and DVI), and to configure display modes and properties such as orientation, reflection and DPI. This is the simplest and most powerful way to get multi-monitor systems working using recent versions of Linux such as Ubuntu 7.10 and Fedora 8 with graphics chipsets such as the Intel 945GM/GMS and ATI Radeon found in Thinkpads." I get it now. Yep, I must have been using xrandr, since I was using both onboard and external monitor -- and the bug does *not* occur when it's just the onboard screen on my laptop, which is what I've been using for the last few days. -- parts of window displayed in wrong place on desktop https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/558690 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-nouveau 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
