Preface: I have a Latitude E4300, and the resolution of the built-in screen is 1280x800. I have attached my xorg.conf, as I have found manually setting the virtual screen size to help, otherwise docking after booting undocked, I could not set the screen size greater than 1280x800.
Following are the my experiences of Kai's scenarios with the latest test .debs for intrepid (xserver-xorg-video-intel - 2:2.5.1-1ubuntu5~intrepid): Expected behaviour: - Boot the laptop while docked, lid is closed - External monitor is enabled using its native resolution (1680x1050) - Internal display is disabled Actual behaviour: - Boot the laptop while docked, lid is closed - External monitor is enabled, resolution 1024x768 - Internal display is enabled, resolution 1024x768 - Run `xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output HDMI-1 --auto` - External monitor is enabled, resolution 1680x1050 - Internal display is enabled, resolution 1280x800 Expected behaviour: - Boot the laptop while not docked, lid open - Internal display is enabled, resolution 1280x800 - Close lid, dock the laptop - External monitor is enabled using its native resolution (1680x1050), internal display is disabled Actual behaviour: - Boot the laptop while not docked, lid open - Internal display is enabled, resolution 1280x800 - Close lid, dock the laptop - External monitor is not being enabled, its native resolution is not listed by xrandr - Run `xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output HDMI-1 --auto` - External monitor is enabled, resolution 1680x1050 - Internal display is enabled, resolution 1280x800 So there are three problems: - When docking/undocking the monitors are not automatically enabled/disabled - The native resolution of the external monitor is not being listed when docking after an undocked boot - The wrong resolution is set for both monitors when booting docked, however, running `xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output HDMI-1 --auto` sets both resolutions correctly, although LVDS is still 'enabled' when it is closed. ** Attachment added: "xorg.conf" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/20623264/xorg.conf -- Incorrect resolution when docked on Dell Latitude E6400 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/286001 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
