Same issue here: `xrandr --auto` indeed enables the external monitor with mirroring at a higher resolution than my internal display, but not at the external display's native resolution. It enables my Dell 2207WFP at 1600x1024 (3x2), where it should be 1680x1050 (16:10). Unable to handle this non-native resolution, the Dell cuts off the top third of the screen.
I change the resolution in "Monitor Resolution Settings" to the proper resolution after `xrandr --auto`, so long as I am careful not to bump the screen out of mirroring mode, which subsequently limits the resolution to the laptop's native resolution. cheers, Charlie -- automatically mirror displays to the larger resolution when connecting an external monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/299653 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
