Public bug reported:
1) Ubuntu 8.04.1
2) Unknown package (xorg-x11? fglrx?)
3) When plugging external monitor (VGA port), re-detect the available
resolutions and enable them in Preferences -> Screen Resolutions. It would be
desirable if it also resizes the desktop to the maximum, but this should be
optional.
4) The maximum available display is limited by the available detected screens
at boot time (x11 startup), and I can only change it by restarting X session.
Details:
I have a Thinkpad T60 Laptop (ATI Radeon X1300, FGLRX 2.1.7659)
The available resolutions (Preferences -> Screen Resolutions) are
determined at boot time (EDID), and I'm unable to change them when
plugging or unplugging external monitors.
I usually move the laptop to three different locations using several
display resolutions:
- Internal display (1024x768)
- External monitor (home) : 1440x900
- External monitor (work) : 1280x1024
If I boot with one of the low res monitor plugged, the available
resolutions are limited to that maximum.
In order to use all the available resolutions, I have to boot with the highest
posible resolution (1440x900) so the combo box has all the possibilities.
Then I suspend the laptop, move it to the preferred location and manually set
the new resolution.
