Title:
gnome-control-center cannot change resolution of external monitor
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in mutter package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
g-c-c is unable to change the resolution on my external 2560x1440
monitor to 1920x1080 - when I try, the monitor turns off.
However, the command "xrandr --output HDMI-1 --mode 1920x1080" does
successfully change the resolution.
xrandr for the monitor shows:
HDMI-1 connected 2560x1440+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
597mm x 336mm
2560x1440 59.95*+

I tried changing the resolution to 1600x1200 using g-c-c and this did
work.
