What's interesting is that when I boot WinXP (shhh... I know) I can setup the dual-monitor side-by-side quite nicely. It looks like 945 hw supports this virtual-desktop size. Well, at least in 2D hw-accelerated mode...
Also, looks like I found a bug (not sure if a bug-report already exists): I created a virtual desktop in which the displays are one on top of the other: Laptop LCD is 1280x800 External monitor is 1280x1024 virt desktop is 1280x1824, which is within the limits of 2048^2. This 'kinda' worked. By 'kinda' I mean that both displays work w/compiz, however the background of the secondary monitor does not repaint when dragging windows, and half of the primary display suffers from the same problem. I tried to create a screen shot but ironically it does not capture the problem... the desktop snapshot looks perfectly fine -- Poor display performance w/Intel 945GM, cannot enable desktop effects https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/360713 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
