The problem is with the Intel driver. This is a known limitation: No support for X Screens larger than 2048 pixels in either direction before the 965.
xrandr seems to report the wrong maximum screen size (as 4096 in either direction). Turning off compiz is not an option for me as it's used for productivity purposes. Spent all of last night writing a script with the limitation in mind but am now unable to figure out how to replace Ubuntu's action for the video out key. Is there any documentation for doing this?? -- intel graphics laptop crashes with external monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/465318 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
