Public bug reported:
Hello,
I have a Toshiba R20 tablet pc, with has an Intel 945 GM video card,
running a fresh installation of Ubuntu 8.04.
Dual screens aren't working, the second screen is always a clone from
the main screen.
What I have done :
First attempt - try to plug the second screen after the system was turned on :
1. Plugged the second display on the VGA port
2. Opened the "Screen Resolution" application
3. Made sure that "Clone Screens" wasn't selected
4. Clicked the Detect display button
5. Clicked the second square (it should represent the second monitor) and
selected various resolution/frequencies, and clicked apply
6. The second monitor remains black
7. After messing with the position of the second screen, it finally shows up at
720x400, at the cloned mode, the upper/lower panels get bugged
8. Every attempt to change the resolution isn't successful
9. After messing with the position of the second screen, resolution, and
frequency, I'm able to set the second screen at 1280x1024, but it is still a
clone, and the panels and desktop area and windows get buggy.
Second attempt - boot with the screen connected
1. After booting, the second screen come up at 1280x1024, as a clone. The
panels are buggy.
2. Opened the "Screen Resolution" application, the "Clone Screens" option
wasn't on
3. Could not think of anything else that I could do to help ....
