For unrelated reasons, I had to reinstall Ubuntu and X configuration went to the defaults. After enabling "propietary driver", X had more or less the same issue:
- Booting without the external monitor limit the maximum resolution up to 1024x768 - Plugging the external monitor makes no difference - Restarting X gives the higher resolution BUT all the widgets are constrained to a inner square of 1024x768 (only the desktop is outside this area) I think this bug limits usability of Ubuntu as a desktop system. Mac OSX behaves better when plugging or unplugging monitors (redetecting and autoadjusting the desktop size to the new maximum). As a workaround, now I am using envy-ng with customized xorg.conf and amdccle (AMD Control Center) in order to redetect and readjust resolution -- 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 ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
