Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
Often people have connected two displays with their laptop where the second, external one is not always connected and has another aspect ratio than the internal. Starting up the xorg-server with both connect it falls back to the highest resolution both have. For example using my EeePC 901 with a 1024x768 external display connected it falls back to 800x600. Sure, this is a feature which shouldn't be changed in xorg-server, but I would like to have the max resolution of each screehn, so that my internal display uses 1024x600 and the external 1024x768. At the moment I have to run a "xrandr --size 0" after login. The problem hereby is, that this is not really userfriendly and my gnome-panel gets messed up while the resolution is at 800x600.
My wish:
- Add a checkbox with the caption "Use max resolution of connected displays"
- If this option was checked, directly after the gnome-session was started, the command "xrandr -s 0"(or an equivalent) should be issued, before any application in this sessionn is started
