I'm referring to your request a few hours ago... "can you force the resolution using the xrandr command line tool?"
Yes you can force it using xrandr, assuming that you have edited xorg.conf properly. I've carried out these steps and proven that you can force the correct resolution regardless of auto-detection, through a KVM which suppresses the ordinary auto-detection signals. My suggestion is to permit users to manually specify modes in the graphical tool, and have the gnome screen resolution tool make the required changes to xorg.conf just as it does today with virtual resolution. It's to add this feature to the ubuntu environment that the original request was about - not having to manually edit xorg.conf. It's for this reason I'd like to keep the bug open and provide any maintainer with more information about the request. -- Unable to force screen resolution with vtswitch/splitter https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/260436 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
