Hi, I seem to be finding bug heaven this week... Ok, after a fresh install of Ubuntu 8.10 and a fresh build of e17 on my laptop, I'm having some screen resolution issues. Ubuntu is *HIGHLY* suspect as the root cause of this, but I thought I'd start here first. When Entrance first starts, the screen resolution on my notebook is set for 1024x768 and everything (apps, fonts, etc) scales properly. When I get to work and attach my Dell monitor, the screen resolution is way off. The Dell monitor can do 1280x1024 @ 60Hz with no problem. I then go to E17's control panel and set the screen resolution to 1280x1024 @ 60hz and I save those settings. I log out of E17. The Entrance login screen is now at the correct resolution. I log back into E17 and everything scales to the correct resolution of 1280x1024. If I don't follow those steps, the font size in my applications, ie. Firefox or Thunderbird, is *HUGE*. Now here's where it gets really crazy; If I set the different resolutions in my xorg.conf file and reboot, Entrance shows up at 1280x1024 @ 60hz.. BUT.. when I log into E17, the screen resolution is correct, however, the font size of my applications are GIANT sized! I log out and back in, but no change. Removing the resolution lines in xorg.conf and rebooting puts me right back to what I described in the beginning of this message.
Has anyone, who is using Ubuntu Intrepid on a notebook, experiencing anything similar ? I'm going to post this the the Ubuntu list because, again, I didn't have this issue when I was using Ubuntu 8.0.4. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
