I have just re-installed using ATI Proprietary driver and it actually seems to be working now. Perhaps it was an issue with AMD's driver.
I am now using: Catalyst: 11.9 Driver packaging version: 8.892-110914m-125703C-ATI 2D Driver version: 8.89.4 Catalyst Control Center Version: 2.13 RandR version: 1.3 I will confirm tomorrow with the same test I did initially so I can check the same setup but with updated drivers. ** Attachment added: "scaling-with-amd-prop.png" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vinagre/+bug/773437/+attachment/2541202/+files/scaling-with-amd-prop.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to vinagre in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/773437 Title: Scaling display goes bright/white Status in “vinagre” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have a Sony VGN-FW31J laptop. Has ATI Radeon Mobility HD 3400 graphics card and I am using proprietary drivers: Catalyst: 11.3 Driver packaging version: 8.723.1-100408a-098580C-ATI 2D Driver version: 8.83.6 Catalyst Control Center Version: 2.13 RandR version: 1.3 I am on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS and have Compiz enabled. I am using Remote Desktop Viewer 2.30.2 and I am using GNOME. The issue is that I can connect, view, and control a remote computer without any problem. However I am trying to connect to a computer with a larger resolution than my screen. I used to have the default proprietary ATI drivers (that came bundled with Ubuntu, sorry but I don't know versions etc.) and it worked fine. Since I updated to the above versions, when I switch on "Scaling" it displays odd. Most of the display is white and much of the colour is very brightened and looks like it is very distorted - I can't make out the actual image at all. I have tried turning off Compiz, and changing a few settings that I don't know what are for (like Vertical Sync) in the ATI CCC, but nothing seems to fix it. The only thing that works is if I do "vinagre reset" in a command line window, but as soon as the screen changes (e.g. I move my mouse around) the screen gets lighter and lighter again until it is white, and that also displays an error message saying: "Connection to host /reset/ was closed". Hope someone can help and find a more permanent solution! Thanks. Let me know if you need any more detail.
