** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel It seems that Xorg sets an Virtual size on start which is as high as the needed resolution (x resolution value * x resolution value) but if a Display with a higher resolution is connected it can only use resolutions which are the same or lower than the virtual one. There are two possible solutions imho. Xorg should use the maximum virtual size if it doesn't need so much mem or the better one: Xorg should be able to change the virtual size on the fly if a monitor with a higher resolution is hotplugged. + + [lspci] + 00:00.0 Host bridge [0600]: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/PM/GMS/910GML Express Processor to DRAM Controller [8086:2590] (rev 03) + Subsystem: Sony Corporation Unknown device [104d:81e2] + 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller [8086:2592] (rev 03) (prog-if 00 [VGA]) + Subsystem: Sony Corporation Unknown device [104d:81e2]
