You have been subscribed to a public bug: I am very happy to see improvements in the dual monitor settings in ubuntu.
I have a laptop and an external full HD monitor, Ubuntu 8.10 which I am able to make function after spending some time configuring the displays (and rebooting). I am only able to make it work using Nvidia X Server settings. The problem is that when I open Preferences -> Screen Resolution, the external display doesn't show. I do press the "Detect Displays" button in the "Monitor Resolution Settings" window, but NOTHING HAPPENS. On the other hand, Nvidia X Server settings does refresh and shows both screens. ** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- screen resolution monitor doesn't refresh when dual monitor is plugged https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/bugs/307855 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
