I am seeing this problem as well on a Intel 965. Hardy was fine, but the multiple display support in Intrepid for XFCE and KDE is horrid. Here are my findings:
1) XFCE: a) xrandr can re-position screens to above/below, but not absolute b) xrandr not change the resolution of the external monitor, it is always the same as the laptop monitor's resolution 2) KDE: a) KDE session crashes/exits every time I connect the external monitor b) KDE session crashes/exits sometimes when I attempt to change the resolution c) When KDE does not crash, it has the same symptoms as XFCE w/ xrandr 3) Gnome is working fine, correct resolution & positioning Too bad Gnome is the one I like the least -- [INTREPRID] INTEL 852/855GM or 965GM gives a wrong screen resolution on laptop used with an external display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/272669 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
