I am also experiencing this issue in Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell D620. All seems to work well when using only the laptop LCD but I always use dual monitors (extended desktop) at work. Attempting this in Ubuntu 9.10 causes complete lock-up, so I am forced to return to WinXP until this issue is resolved (after working diligently to get Ubuntu to work on a corporate network).
The laptop LCD panel resolution is 1280x1024 and the external Dell LCD monitor resolution is 1280x1024. It seems that setting a desktop with total width greater than 2048 pixels causes this lockup according to Bug #486056 and it seems that this bug (#480891) is very possibly the root cause. Although I use Ubuntu at home, I have invested entirely too much time trying to get this to work in my office. Lack of dual-monitor support is a show-stopper for me so please consider correcting this problem in Karmic rather than waiting for Lucid. Let me know if I can provide any information to assist in resolving this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- [G45] Xorg does not use full resolution of monitor (Intel) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/480891 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
