2009-10-10 05:08:43 Bryce Harrington description Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel With two 16:10 displays, a Dell Latitude E6500 laptop (1440 x 900) and a Dell 24'' TFT ( 1920 x 1200), the intel gfx driver chooses the 4:3 resolution of 1024x748 for both. Visual result is a low 4:3 transformed to fullscreen 16:10, this looks pretty poor. It's the first matching common resolution according to xrandr output, nevertheless ... ...much better would be: If both monitors have the same aspect ratio (e.g. 16:10 or 4:3) choose the smaller resolution as the common base and scale to the size bigger monitor. (Because only one monitor needs scaling it should even save tons of GPU cycles. With the proposed algorithm, one output runs with the 'perfect' native resolution and only one is transformed, with taspect ratio is presered! Currently base resolution is: lower than min. of both display, _both_ are transformed, aspect ratio is not kept.
