Standard Hardy start-up doesn't start xrandr correctly (I get a copy of my laptop monitor on the external screen) the top screen is also in a lower resolution than the maximum available. (I guess xorg doesnt detect it well enough)
So with the attached code (got it from somewhere I cant remember) I do the following (and it meight be usefull for others) ./external-monitor.sh off (I also kill awn in this command as it isnt working well with screen changes yet) ./external-monitor.sh on above 1280x1024 I guess this is also very handy if you are using a projector (as you can change the resolution appropriately) Cheers, ** Attachment added: "external-monitor.sh" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/12272449/external-monitor.sh -- displayconfig-gtk should generate an randr 1.2 configuration where possible https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/144641 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
