I see this in you XorgLog.gz: (in the EDID information for the VGA connection)
[ 2810.719131] (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "SAM", prod id 596 [ 2810.719137] (II) intel(0): EDID quirk: Detailed timing is not preferred, use largest mode at 60Hz [ 2810.719180] (II) intel(0): Not using mode "1680x1050" (width too large for virtual size) [ 2810.719188] (II) intel(0): Not using mode "1680x1050" (width too large for virtual size) So it apparently wants to set the 1680x1050 mode first, but doesn't because the desktop virtual size is too small. This looks like bug 220563 which was supposed to not be a problem anymore. If you're having the monitors side-by-side you would need a virtual width of at least 1680+1280=2960. Can you try if either of the following works: 1. Add the these lines to the "Screen" section in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Virtual 3000 1200 EndSubSection 2. In System -> Preferences -> Display, place the external monitor above or below laptop monitor. This should make a virtual height of 1050+800 = 1850, which I think it is by default (I think it is 2048x2048). ** Summary changed: - [jaunty] Incorrectly detects screen resolution of Samsung 225BW + [i965] [jaunty] Incorrectly detects screen resolution of Samsung 225BW ** Tags added: 965gm dual-monitor intel jaunty resolution xorg -- [i965] [jaunty] Incorrectly detects screen resolution of Samsung 225BW https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/346611 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
