I believe there's still a valid issue here. Even after adding the "Virtual" stanza to my Xorg.conf, and removing ~/.config/monitors.xml as above, I'm still seeing incorrect resolutions on laptop and external monitors initially:
"I removed my ~/.config/monitors.xml and rebooted with my external monitor connected, and the laptop lid open (there's no output to the exernal monitor during boot, so I have to have it open). At the gdm login screen, the configuration is mirrored at 1024x768 on both my laptop (native resolution 1280x800, with black bars on either side for the unused space), and on the external monitor (1680x1050 native resolution - stretched across the screen." -- [i965] [jaunty] Incorrectly detects screen resolution of Samsung 225BW https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346611 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
