To this day I have not been able to tweak Ubuntu (On Dell Latitude D50x) to work with VGA-out and the local display at the same time in a manner that is simple enough for my users. This is a serious problem for me. I have tried the solution suggested by Seb Wills in 06 with
Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP" Option "Clone" "true" This is the closest so far if I don't care about increased power requirements when VGA-out is not used. I use 1024x768 resolution which the projector (HP vp6300) connected to VGA-out accepts, but the right part of the Ubuntu desktop is missing on the projected image. On a standard Feisty desktop everything to the right of the battery status is missing like in the screenshot. Currently my users use only VGA-out and not the local display with Dapper. It is OK, but far from perfect. I really hope this issue can be solved in a manner that regular users can accept. Feisty is very close to good enough for the desktop, but issues like this can be a showstopper in many cases. ** Attachment added: "Screenshot of Feisty with right part of the screen missing on VGA-out" http://librarian.launchpad.net/7398469/desktop.jpg -- [i855] Clone Mode makes external display very blurry/wobbly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36550 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
