[Bug 281486] Re: [Intrepid] Regression: wrong GDM resolution when using external display on i945
This could be fixed by adding some lines to xorg.conf, but because we are trying to move away from manually editing the xorg.conf file, another way should be preferred. One way is to use xrandr (not quite the same as lxrandr) to set the external monitor resolution upon gdm startup. In order to do this, edit the /etc/gdm/Init/Default file (a script run @ the start of gdm), and insert a line similar to the following: xrandr --output VGA --auto Where VGA is the output name of your external monitor (can be found by looking at the output of xrandr -q). For lazy people, attached is a patch file that inserts the appropriate line into the file. To apply it: sudo patch -d /etc/gdm/Init/ gdm_init_patch.diff Mike ** Attachment added: Sets the external monitor screen resolution with xrandr at gdm startup. http://launchpadlibrarian.net/19576910/gdm_init_patch.diff -- [Intrepid] Regression: wrong GDM resolution when using external display on i945 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281486 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I found a workaround/solution. Install lxrandr. Click Show the same screen on both Laptop LCD and external monitor. Works great for me :). -- [Intrepid] Regression: wrong GDM resolution when using external display on i945 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281486 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also have the same problem after upgrading to Intrepid, with a : 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82G33/G31 Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02) My monitor needs 1024x768 resolution but gdm start with a different resoluzion but when I start gnome the resolution is switched to 1024x768. I also had the same problem with Hardy, but I could solve restarting the x server with a reboot or also with ctrl+alt+backspace. -- [Intrepid] Regression: wrong GDM resolution when using external display on i945 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281486 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Same thing for me on my Thinkpad X60 with Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS.

This happens for me too on my Lenovo Thinkpad R61 (with an i965 though). With a second monitor just connected, the resolution of the gdm login screen on the internal screen is 1024x768, rather than 1280x800 as it should be (the external monitor I have connected is not widescreen, but it does go up and to and beyond 1280x1024. This is with the latest updates for Intrepid and a completely standard basic xorg.conf (from running sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg) 00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c) ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New = Confirmed -- [Intrepid] Regression: wrong GDM resolution when using external display on i945 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/281486 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
