[Bug 445100] Re: karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024
using an older thinkpad x40 and karmic and having this same problem. it seems Alessandro Arrichiello is correct and now i've got things working with compiz. the trick seems to be you have to settle for lowering the resolution so that neither width nor height sums to < 2048. for example this won't work (except if screens stacked vertically): vga1: 1024x768 lvds1: 1024x768 this will work no matter how screens are positioned: vga1: 1024x768 lvds1: 800x600 i did not use the script above, i just made settings in System->Preferences->Display that followed the < 2048 rule. excuse me while i revel in my dual screen awesome. :-) -- karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445100 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

Re: [Bug 290545] Re: Brightness issue with Ibex 8.10 on IBM X40 Laptop
Ok i've installed all these packages and the brightness functionality seems to behave much better. however, the most annoying bug persists, which is after suspend the screen comes back in the lowest possible brightness setting and i cannot adjust the brightness. Frans, perhaps you were never experiencing the issue with suspend? or perhaps you did an additional step? anyway thanks for the (partial) fix!!! btw i'm on a thinkpad x40 kur...@kurtjx-laptop:~$ uname -a Linux kurtjx-laptop 2.6.27-11-generic #1 SMP Thu Jan 29 19:24:39 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux On Tue, Feb 10, 2009 at 12:21 PM, Frans wrote: > You have to download and install the package manually. > I installed in the order: > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-headers-2.6.24-22 > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-headers-2.6.24-22-generic > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-image-2.6.24-22-generic > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24-22-generic > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-backports-modules-2.6.24-22-generic > http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/linux-restricted-modules-2.6.24-22-generic > > I works perfectly for me !! > I hope it will help you. > > Frans > > -- > Brightness issue with Ibex 8.10 on IBM X40 Laptop > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290545 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > > Status in "gnome-power-manager" source package in Ubuntu: New > > Bug description: > A very annoying brightness bug in 8.10 beta release.
