Title:
Multi-monitor support doesn't allow for overlapping displays
Status in One Hundred Paper Cuts:
Invalid
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
Multi-monitor support with System->Preferences->Display does not allow
a very useful setup, namely to have two monitors with different screen
size and the same origin.
When you have a laptop and a larger monitor that is not a projector,
this is what I generally want. It allows me to quickly detach the
laptop and continue using it.
xorg can do it:
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1920x1200 --pos 0x0 --output LVDS --mode
1680x1050 --pos 0x0
When I do that in a command shell, the display application shows the
overlapping screens. But as soon as I move one of them with the mouse,
I lose: I can no longer position them over each other.
I realize this is a bug in a specific application, but it really is a
"paper cut" because it bites people who are new to Ubuntu quickly.
