Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
After a fresh install of Hardy Heron, I have the following problems:
- On the login screen and after first login, resolution is 1600x1200,
which is not supported by my secondary monitor, and makes my eyes cry on
the main monitor. The refresh rate is 66 Hz, which causes a lot of
flicker: I always used a resolution of [EMAIL PROTECTED] with this monitor,
be it under Windows or Gutsy.
- A quick look at the restricted drivers dialogue: it shows an entry for
the nvidia-new driver, but marks it as disabled (screenshot included,
sorry, it's in french).
- When I open the screen resolution tool (screenshot included), only one
screen is detected.
I found vaguely similar bugs but not this exact one, at least not this
particular combination.
Useful info:
