4:3 resolutions do not fill entire widescreen

[Karl Sindre Baath Engelstad]

Binary package hint: xorg

When I am using 4:3 resolutions (1024x768 for example) on my laptop screen (widescreen 16:10, native resolution 1280x800), the content does not stretch to the entire screen. Instead it runs as if the widecreen were an ordinary 4:3 screen (Black space is shown at the rest of the screen).

I am running the latest X.org drivers for Intel GM965 (GMA X3100) provided by Ubuntu Maverick.

Hey Karl,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)
