Chris, I followed your directions again. After disabling desktop-effects, reconfiguring xserver-xorg AND rebooting with only the internal LCD display, I could see a bare desktop with the default settings and without the lowres error message I got in my last reboot. The output of the commands and logs are in test2.tgz
Afterwards, I did a few tests: - Plugged an external monitor 1440x900. The new resolution wasn't automatically detected neither I could get the new resolutions in the Screen Resolutions applet. I took another snapshot of ddclient and xrandr with no differences with test2.tgz - Restarted X session WITH the monitor plugged. It wasn't detected either. Same output from ddclient and xrandr. - Manually edited Display section of xorg.conf. Tried to force Driver "fgrlx". White background after X restart. - Replaced "fglrx" by "radeon". With the next restart both screens were detected but with a few limitations: internal display was the maximum virtual space available, but the larger display showed its full resolution (1440x900) with empty room around the 1024x768 inner box. Apart from the screen background, all the other widgets were constrained to 1024x768. I got the requested files in test3.tgz - With this configuration plugging and unplugging the external monitor didn't made any difference in the screen resolutions combo. - Using radeon driver I wasn't able to enable desktop effects, so I'm back to my beloved fglrx customized xorg.conf ... to the beginning :-( Thanks, ** Attachment added: "test2.tgz" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/16271589/test2.tgz -- screen resolution autodetection when plugging monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/250951 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
