On login, Unity gives me the same image on both monitors, in a suboptimal resolution for both (everything is blurry). xrandr gives: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1152 x 864, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS1 connected 1152x864+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 303mm x 190mm 1440x900 60.0 + 59.9 50.0 1360x768 59.8 60.0 1152x864 60.0* 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 connected 1152x864+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 430mm x 270mm 1680x1050 60.0 + 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0* 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 Cycling modes with Fn-F7 (this is a Lenovo T410s laptop) gives : - only the right (external) monitor at its optimal resolution - only the left (internal) monitor at its optimal resolution - the above suboptimal mirror. I expect: - that the proposed mirror setup would use the preferred resolution for both monitors, which is possible (see below) - to be proposed a setup with one desktop that takes both monitors (using their preferred resolution) - that the setup chosen by default with my 2 monitors would be a good-looking one (either mirror or stretched with preferred resolutions). This used to work in previous releases (both items), though maybe only for Unity 2D since this it what I was using then. My workaround to get a stretched desktop: /usr/bin/xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1440x900 --output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050 --right-of LVDS1 Which gives: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3120 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS1 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 303mm x 190mm 1440x900 60.0*+ 59.9 50.0 1360x768 59.8 60.0 1152x864 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 connected 1680x1050+1440+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 430mm x 270mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 And to get a nice-looking mirror desktop: /usr/bin/xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1440x900 --output VGA1 --mode 1680x1050 --same-as LVDS1 Which gives: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1680 x 1050, maximum 8192 x 8192 LVDS1 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 303mm x 190mm 1440x900 60.0*+ 59.9 50.0 1360x768 59.8 60.0 1152x864 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 430mm x 270mm 1680x1050 60.0*+ 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 Once I have executed one of these workarounds, Fn-F7 cycles through these 2 setups in addition to the ones it does by default.
