Using a Lenovo 3000 C100 laptop
VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller (rev 04)
Connected to an HP w19ev 19" Monitor
While setting up dual monitor output, setting both screens to same image works with full screen 1024x768 in both screens, but I can't set an independent 1440x900 in the HP monitor at the same time as having 1024x768 in the laptop monitor (i.e. when same image in all monitors box is unchecked). Instead of displaying a full screen at 1440x900, the 19" monitor displays a 1024x768 area, with surrounding black space.
Output from xrandr when this is attempted:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2048 x 768, maximum 4096 x 4096

Same problem with Ubuntu 11.04 (Unity).
Resolution 1024x768 is fine but higher resolutions result in surrounding black space (top and right). The top menu bar, however, seems to be rendered correctly. No problem under KDE.
