[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1070883] Re: Pivot causes missing single line on screen
Thanks, it works. It does also reduce the width by 1px effectively, but it's better than a missing line in the middle of the screen. In case anyone with the same problem wants to make this permanent. sudo tee /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings EOF xrandr --fb 1201x1920 EOF -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070883 Title: Pivot causes missing single line on screen Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 fglrx-amdcccle-updates 2:9.000-0ubuntu3 fglrx-updates 2:9.000-0ubuntu3 When using pivot (rotated screen), a single line exactly in the middle of the screen is missing, which is especially noticeable with text.

Workaround - change the screen size to (Width+1)x(Height), e.g. for 1200x1920: xrandr --fb 1201x1920 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1070883 Title: Pivot causes missing single line on screen Status in “fglrx-installer” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 fglrx-amdcccle-updates 2:9.000-0ubuntu3 fglrx-updates 2:9.000-0ubuntu3 When using pivot (rotated screen), a single line exactly in the middle of the screen is missing, which is especially noticeable with text.
