Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
Here is my setup :
My laptop is an Acer TravelMate 6292 with an integrated graphics chipset INTEL
965GM.
It is docked in an ACER docking station
An external LCD monitor is plugged on the docking station (using the VGA
connector).
The laptop's lid is generally closed.
With this setup, the external monitor is set up by X with a 1024x768 resolution
whereas the preferred one is 1280x1024.
The laptop panel (LVDS) is enabled (even when the lid is closed) and is also
set up ith a 1024x768 resolution whereas the preferred one is 1280x800.
Both monitor display the same things (clone mode).
After logging into GNOME I can do a sane setup using either the resolution
applet or the xrandr tool.
This behavior gives a really bad first impression of INTREPID (it was no better
on Gutsy or Hardy of the record)
Expected behaviour :
When the lid is closed, the LVDS panel should be disabled and the external
monitor should be set up with its preferred resolution.
When the lid is opened, 2 possibilities :
-1- the LVDS panel should be disabled and the external monitor should be set
up with its preferred resolution.
-2- both monitor are enabled, set up with their preferred resolution and
configured as "extended desktop" (one desktop on two monitors).
If I use the DVI connector of the docking station the behaviour is
exactly the same.
