Alvaro, your solution does solve the symptoms (thanks!!), but a peek at my xrandr output leads me to believe that the underlying problem may not be gone.
$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1024 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096 VGA-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) DVI-0 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.0*+ 60.0 1360x768 59.8 800x600 60.3 59.9 848x480 59.7 720x480 59.7 640x480 59.9 59.4 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) It's still detecting my 1024x768 laptop display as 1360x768 CAPABLE which is quite incorrect. I'm using a T42 Thinkpad with the M7 (Radeon Mobility 7500) Thanks for your solution and any additional consideration to this issue! -- Screen with 4:3 ratio incorrectly detected as having 16:9 ratio https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/641525 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-ati 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
