Reproducible on 14.04.1. Indeed it has to do with the max total display
size in 3d mode: Requested size (2304, 800) exceeds 3D hardware limit
(2048, 2048). You must either rearrange the displays so that they fit
within a (2048, 2048) square.
Solution:
- Drag the extra monitor *under* the laptop
I have the same problem on an Ubuntu Triple EEE PC netbook. By running
xandr using the command shown in the third message of this thread, I was
able to get a resolution of sorts:
xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA1 --auto --same-as LVDS --rotate
normal
However the interface is not working
Correction: I can now see the menu options for applications. But I still
have the mirroring issue.

Title:
Screen Rotation options only
Using 12.10 on an older Toshiba, I can confirm this bug and lack of
workaround. The only workaround I have discovered is to decrease the
resolution of one or both displays by trial and error so that their
total combined width does not exceed the graphics card's capabilities.
I fully agree with
@Kari: read https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Importance Low: Bugs that
affect unusual end-user configurations or uncommon hardware ... which
is your case. The issue should probably be reported upstream as well,

I confirm that this bug exists in 12.10. I have only one display (a Sony
TV) in my HTPC. I can select only clockwise and counterclockwise. No
normal option is present. I must soon change a distro if I cannot find a
solution to this.

I can confirm the same problem on ubuntu 12.10 on a Macbook 2,1.
It works when mirroring, however.
From what I read on the internet, there is no Ubuntu 2D in 12.10, so that
work-around will not work any more.
I see this has low priority, but this seems fairly fundamental to me,
since I know many
IF you log out and set the session to Ubuntu 2D all these problems will

Can confirm bug still exists in the up-to-date release version of 12.04.
Running on a Compaq nx7400.
When plugging in a VGA External monitor, at any resolution higher than
1024 x 768 the Normal and 180deg. options are not available.
xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --rotate normal --right-of LVDS1
Hi.
I have discovered the reason for this issue.
It is not a bug, per say, though the interface and the information given to the
user are confusing and broken
The reason that normal and 180 degrees are not made available in the screen
display settings is that UNITY (which i Hate btw) uses your
Same problem here with a Dell D410. I can choose my external monitor to
be rotated clockwise or anticlockwise, but I can't choose it to be
normal, using display settings.

Screen rotation isn't the most commonly used feature when the
orientation is set to landscape, but if the system is forcing a monitor
into portrait mode I would argue people would be forced to use it. I had
never used that feature in any OS, until I was forced to.
Also the workaround did not
@tranqy: sorry but that's basically what you get by hijacking a bug
with a different issue from the originally reported one.
The bug here is about the optional screen rotation option and a low
importance once, your bug is about incorrect screen configuration which
is a different issue and would
Hijacking a bug? Are you kidding me?
The title of the bug :
Screen Rotation options only Counterclockwise Clockwise Edit
I plug in a monitor and only receive Counterclockwise and Clockwise as
orientation options. Not normal. The workaround described exactly what I
wanted to do, but it didn't
BTW I'm unsubscribing. Obviously I must need to find a different bug to
get a non clockwise or counterclockwise orientation for my external
monitor.

The best workaround I have found is to 'keep current settings' when the
timed dialog appears (in display settings). Once the settings are
applied, although the display is rotated 90 degrees, I have found that
the 'normal' orientation option reappears in the orientation dropdown
box. Applying
Thanks Kolin. Not sure why this is low importance, I switched to another
distro since the external monitor didn't work.

@tranqy: it's low importance because:
- screen rotation is not the most commonly used feature
- there is an easy workaround using the xrandr command line described there
