I think displayconfig-gtk is broken in some deeper way at the moment. It was writing Virtual directives for a resolution larger than my display can support (1920x1200), but still displaying the correct maximum resolution in its GUI (1680x1050). The actual result was very bizarre: the X server would display a 1680x1050 area, stretched slightly both horizontally and vertically so the contents spilled offscreen and the mouse pointer had to be moved to the edge to bring them on. I'd estimate that about 5-10% of the width and height were offscreen at all times. Altering the Virtual directive and removing all references to 1920x1200 in xorg.conf had no effect.
I finally got it to work properly by writing an xorg.conf using nvidia- settings. -- [Hardy] displayconfig-gtk does not change Virtual setting in xorg.conf https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/212431 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
