Morning All, My work Laptop dual boots Intrepid & WinXP. I do most of my work in Ubuntu, and have recently started plugging in an external monitor, as we had a couple of spares knocking around the office!
The laptop is a Lenovo 3000 N200, Graphics chipset is reported by lshw as a GM965. 1) The resolution on the external monitor has a maximum of 1024x768 in Ubuntu, but 1280x1024 in windows. I also tried a widescreen external monitor, but in ubuntu could still only get a maximum of 1024x768 (which is also the wrong ratio). Resolution is fine on the laptop integrated monitor (1280x800 16:9). Any ideas why this would be? 2) Since plugging in the monitor, my wallpaper has disappeared! I use compiz, but have tried enabling and disabling the wallpaper option in there but all that greets me is a blank white screen. Interestingly, my gnome-panels are set to transparent, and I can see the wallpaper on them!
