Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: systemsettings-kde4
Hi all.
A situation description (i booted the ubuntu interpid ibex live cd and testing
it):
I am have two displays and i would like to set up a laptop LVDS panel screen to
be right of the external panel. The outputs are detected okay. The state is
that both screen has the lower resolution of the two screens (lvds -
1400x1050), so far okay (actually the output for external panel, VGA-0, showed
the resolution 1600x1200 but it had same as lvds). Then i want to switch the
resolution of the external panel to 1600x1200 (the optimal one). I changed
just the fields for resolution and it switched well. The corners of botch
panels viewports were in the left upper corner, the positions of monitor
fields were showing Clone of.... (something).
Now the hardly usable part comes:
How to move the layout to the right positions that the viewports does not
overlay each other (at least not much).
1. The right part of the settings tool looks like designed for drag and drop
abilities, but it does not do anything (okay... just a preview chart).
2. the border between the preview image and the settings is fixed, so shows
slightly over 30% of the area with the control elements.
3. if i set up on first output that should be left of the another one the
values in the second one are still same, so virtually is possible to set up
nonsense, even if i set it right it does not do any action
4. even if i set up the position fields instead of right/left of to absolute
values it does not do anything. I did not manage even to move the smaller sceen
over the larger screen area (the 1600x1200 screen is workin okay but the lvds
panel still starts in the left upper corner of the panel connected to vga-0
output).
What cames to my mind is that there is missing to be a set-up of the
virtual sreen area where the viewports are positioned. Maybe the
settings could be there more visible (if any of the steps need restart
of xorg server it did not tell me).
regards
