I'm also having similar trouble. What I'm trying to do is to set up the internal panel of my laptop as the default (primary) display at its native 1280 by 800 (widescreen) and the external display connector to 1024 by 768, the native resolution of the projector I wish to use with it. The secondary (external) display is mirroring the main display. (Previously I have set the laptop to 1024 by 768 when I wish to use the external connector to drive the projector, which has worked well for the projector but leaves me with a smeary display at non-native resolution on the laptop).
My experience so far with displayconfig-gtk is that I *can* achieve this setup, but only after going through the process several times, experiencing mysteries such as changed stated resolution of the main (laptop) display when I make any change to the secondary (external) display. Sometimes displayconfig-gtk exits without doing anything after settings have been changed. Sometimes the internal display gets changed to a non-native (lower) resolution, sometimes not. Even when a satisfactory output is achieved, with both displays running at the resolutions I want, I find I can break it by using the function keys (fn F7) to cycle between internal only, external only and both displays. I'm using a Lenovo 3000 N100 with Intel 945 integrated graphics using the i810 driver according to my xorg.conf I'm happy to work more on this in response to specific developer questions; at the moment I'd not want to set up an external projector in front of an audience... ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10188280/xorg.conf -- Not possible to choose selected panel resolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/113514 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
