I wonder why this bug was not yet reported, as suggested above, at bugzilla.gnome.org. I've just done this: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=658335

Starting up the xorg-server with both connect it falls back to the highest resolution both have. For example using my EeePC 901 with a 1024x768 external display connected it falls back to 800x600. Sure, this is a feature which shouldn't be changed in xorg-server, but I would like to have the max resolution of each screehn, so that my internal display uses 1024x600 and the external 1024x768. At the moment I have to run a "xrandr --size 0" after login. The problem hereby is, that this is not really userfriendly and my gnome-panel gets messed up while the resolution is at 800x600. My wish: - Add a checkbox with the caption "Use max resolution of connected displays" - If this option was checked, directly after the gnome-session was started, the command "xrandr -s 0"(or an equivalent) should be issued, before any application in this sessionn is started To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/351427/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
