I installed 8.10 beta from live CD, I did clean install. On 8.04 I used to switch screen with fn+F12, so the laptop screen was black and I was using the external one. Now I have two problems: 1. After pressing fn+F12 the desktop goes crazy on both monitors (everything is rugged or cut or something :) ). 2. Screen resolution is limited to 960x600@60kHz. Formerly I was able to use 1024x768 (@75kHz, as far as I remember). I can still use it if I disconnect the external monitor and reboot. After manual change of driver in xorg.conf to "vesa" the "switch display" shortcut on keyboard works well, but my resolution is still limited to 800x600. grandr detects only one screen, and the system panel "screen resolution" doesn't allow me to check the "mirror screen" box (I'm not sure but I think it should do what I want to) - it doesn't save it with "checked" status. My xorg.conf is now in the default state (almost empty), and here's my lspci report for graphic card: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 661/741/760 PCI/AGP or 662/761Gx PCIE VGA Display Adapter --- Architecture: i386 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 DkmsStatus: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory Lsusb: Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 09da:0080 A4 Tech Co., Ltd Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 13b1:0020 Linksys WUSB54GC 802.11g Adapter [ralink rt73] Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub MachineType: DIXONSXP DIXONSXP Package: xserver-xorg-video-sis 1:0.10.2-2 PackageArchitecture: i386 ProcCmdLine: root=UUID=ad728076-9eff-4aee-9e27-271cd6904bdf ro quiet splash ProcEnviron: PATH=(custom, user) LANG=pl_PL.utf8 SHELL=/bin/bash ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-23.37-generic 2.6.32.15+drm33.5 Tags: lucid lucid Uname: Linux 2.6.32-23-generic i686 UserGroups: adm admin cdrom dialout lpadmin plugdev sambashare dmi.bios.date: 09/19/2005 dmi.bios.vendor: American Megatrends Inc. dmi.bios.version: 080011 dmi.board.name: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.board.vendor: To be filled by O.E.M. dmi.board.version: 1.0 dmi.chassis.asset.tag: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.chassis.type: 3 dmi.chassis.vendor: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.chassis.version: To Be Filled By O.E.M. dmi.modalias: dmi:bvnAmericanMegatrendsInc.:bvr080011:bd09/19/2005:svnDIXONSXP:pnDIXONSXP:pvr1.0:rvnTobefilledbyO.E.M.:rnTobefilledbyO.E.M.:rvr1.0:cvnToBeFilledByO.E.M.:ct3:cvrToBeFilledByO.E.M.: dmi.product.name: DIXONSXP dmi.product.version: 1.0 dmi.sys.vendor: DIXONSXP system: distro: Ubuntu codename: lucid architecture: i686 kernel: 2.6.32-23-generic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-sis/+bug/281454/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
