[Bug 433856] Re: Display Properties sets virtual resolution too low
Thanks cement_head. As I am an absolute beginner I would greatly appreciate a few more guiding words: on https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/drivers-only which links should I open? or should I use the synaptic package manager (or other) instead to navigate to those drivers? Similarly, how do I find the FGLRX drivers you mention (which links to open, which buttons to press) ? Finally, how easily can this get messy and irreversible ? - Do I just need to remember which drivers I installed and can then simply uninstall them if I don't see the desired effect ? Many (beginners') thanks ! ;-) tp. -- Display Properties sets virtual resolution too low https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433856 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

Like for vukasin0, dito for me. IBM Thinkpad R50, with ATI Mobility Radeon 7500. Plus: when logging back in I get the following error text across the panel: [quote] java (error) console microsoft print 2 how to hide panel [unquote] What has this to do with a) Java and b) Microsoft ? For the moment: does it make sense to fiddle around with xorg.conf xrandr (in Karmic) ? tp. ** Changed in: screen-resolution-extra (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released = Invalid -- Display Properties sets virtual resolution too low https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433856 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

Sorry for not realizing immediately: The error text [quote] java (error) console microsoft print 2 how to hide panel [unquote] originates from various files on my desktop. Guess this only indicates further a whacky display configuration... tp. -- Display Properties sets virtual resolution too low https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433856 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 433856] Re: Display Properties sets virtual resolution too low
Sorry for multiple posting (no way of editing ?): New observation: Now that I told Display Preferences that my external monitor is to the right side of my laptop it has worked (though physically it still is to its left). BUT - the display is still a bit whacky and fickle, that is to say, the panels (both top and below Firefox, whatever their proper name), are mostly stripy orange with the occasional icon / button visible when I hover over it. So basically this works, but obviously far from perfectly. Any suggestions?

Update: Shut down the computer, cold re-boot: same orange streaky lines on panels. Turned off visual effects completely (system preferences appearance): no more orange streak. So I'm somewhat happy (though I would like to (have kept) keep some visual effects... :-/ ) tp. -- Display Properties sets virtual resolution too low https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433856 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

Try the updated ATI drivers for effects: https://launchpad.net/~xorg- edgers/+archive/drivers-only Or, if you can install the FGLRX drivers. - CH -- Display Properties sets virtual resolution too low https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/433856 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

Hi, Like for foggydude it doesn't work for me at all in 9.10. In 9.04 I was able to change to 3 modes (mirroring displays, only laptop dispaly, only external monitor ) using display switch function key on my IBM T60 Laptop but here I'm always in mirroring mode. I use Benq FP222Wa external monitor with same resolution as my laptop display 1650x1080. gnome-display-properties not working - after uncheck mirroring and apply it say to logout. After login again, nothing changed - still in mirroring mode.

This bug and all of the duplicates show Display Properties setting the virtual resolution to 2048x2048. In bug #425760, Jani Monoses suggested a possible solution, by changing if int(self.resolution[0]) int(self.optimal_virtual_resolution[0]) or \ int(self.resolution[1]) int(self.optimal_virtual_resolution[1]): self.resolution = self.optimal_virtual_resolution to if int(self.resolution[0]) int(self.optimal_virtual_resolution[0]) and \ int(self.resolution[1]) int(self.optimal_virtual_resolution[1]): self.resolution = self.optimal_virtual_resolution changing or to and in the file /usr/share/screen-resolution- extra/policyui.py.
