do you get the issue using the opensource ati driver? could you add your xorg.conf to the bug? -- Changing Resolution in Monitor Resolution Settings has no effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I've attached my xorg.conf already above and yes this is with the open source driver (going forward this will be the only option for my hardware since AMD have ditched support). It also occurs with the fglrx driver (although I can use CCC to switch resolution using that). -- Changing Resolution in Monitor Resolution Settings has no effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Thanks for your quick response! I wrote that your report seems related to bug #324115 because in that bug I've pointed out that gnome-display-properties not only change the theme but also works only once! After changing the screen resolution for the first time it doesn't work any more! Could you please follow these steps: 1) open a terminal 2) run gnome-settings-daemon 3) Try to change the screen resolution, using gnome-display-properties; and confirm that this doesn't fix your problem? Regarding the status of this report, I'd say that you have provided all the necessary information so that a developer could start working on this problem! For this reason I'm going to set this report as confirmed! Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and helping to make Ubuntu better! ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed -- Changing Resolution in Monitor Resolution Settings has no effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 282739] Re: Changing Resolution in Monitor Resolution Settings has no effect
I ran gnome-settings-daemon, no output appeared, but no error either. I then ran gnome-display-properties, select a new resolution, clicked Apply, an nothing appeared to happen. I exited and then re-ran gnome-display-properties, and the current resolution (not the newly selected one) was showing again. It's just like it does nothing. There's no message from the command line. Is there a way to get some debug output from gnome-display-properties?

Thanks for looking at this, but I don't think it's linked. Trying to change the resolution using gnome-display-properties does not affect my theme, in fact it has no effect at all!

BTW since I reported this bug I changed to using the binary ATI driver 8.56.4. I still can't change resolution using 'Monitor Resolution Settings', but I can change them using the catalyst control center[sic]. However, the changes don't 'stick', i.e. when I log out and back in the resolution had reverted to what it was at the GDM log in screen. -- Changing Resolution in Monitor Resolution Settings has no effect https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/282739 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 282739] Re: Changing Resolution in Monitor Resolution Settings has no effect
Sorry, I forgot so say that creating the xorg.conf file had no effect. Anyway, I went all out old skool and manually configured my monitor, with all the modelines, and I can get the resolution that I want by putting it 'at the front' of the list of Modes in the Display subsection of screen (see attached). Obviously though that's not the point of the new setup. I'll try the xrandr command line tool.

Hi, Thanks for testing. It sounds like the problem is indeed with the gnome-display-properties tool. I'm not sure what it would be though.
