hi claude, i saw this with puredyne running a demo over the dvd-dev iso like a month ago, at first i was puzzled but via the Multiple Screens (grandr) menu option i was able to get the 2 video outputs on their proper resolutions as you suggest.
considering that every projector (aka video beamer:) or extra monitor out there has different native resolutions i found it even handy to have the "greyed" or better, shaded area on my laptop screen so to know what was to appear on the projected image, but im unsure if this is the same issue you are having since the image you attach depicts just the opposite. -- look and feel broken with two monitors attached https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/505933 You received this bug notification because you are a member of puredyne team, which is the registrant for Puredyne Live. Status in Puredyne liveCD/DVD/USB/HD: New Bug description: 14:25 < claude> with second monitor attached on boot, it looks weird... 14:25 < claude> ie: puredyne splash, but standard xfce backdrop 14:26 < claude> and bottom 1/4 of the screen on external monitor looks different 14:26 < claude> ...and it's cropped off the bottom ofthe laptop screen... 14:35 < rob> claude: yes we need a second profile for display 2 14:35 < rob> always annoying when giving a presentation and you loose look and feel on projector 14:37 < claude> rob: it's worse than that here - the different aspect ratio means the panel is not visible on the laptop screen... workaround for now: look at external monitor to find the terminal icon to click, then run grandr to sort out the monitors... _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~puredyne-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
