Is there a way to set a resolution for the screen and independently a resolution for the ubuntu gui for the OS?

Of course, I wanted to try the new TV (LCD, LG 32" using HDMI cable) as external monitor. It was detected right away but then I noted that even when it has the correct resolution (1920x1080) the top bar and the Dash board were wrong. "No big deal", because I have also an ATI Radeon 6870 without the propietary drivers, was my first guess but then I did the same, booting from -this time- a Samsung laptop with a Core i5 and an integrated video card from Intel. And yes, exactly the same problem. If you look at the pics attached, you can see the hidden top bar (I clicked so the menu could be noted) and the Dash board partially hidden too. If you reduce the resolution below the recomended (ie, 1280x900) then everything if fine, as you all can see. Along with this problem, the Shutdown dialog is fine if you invoke it from the extended monitor but it "run away" to the secondary too if clicked from the main monitor. Best Regards. Turbo. PD: Not so sure if this is X.org or Kernel's fault. --- .tmp.unity.support.test.0: ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu2 Architecture: amd64 CasperVersion: 1.314 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CurrentDmesg: [ 22.435166] r8169 0000:02:00.0: eth0: link up [ 22.436079] ADDRCONF(NETDEV_CHANGE): eth0: link becomes ready [ 33.328014] eth0: no IPv6 routers present DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: precise DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 DistroVariant: ubuntu GraphicsCard: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Barts XT [ATI Radeon HD 6800 Series] [1002:6738] (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: XFX Pine Group Inc.
