Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
I'm running hardy on a Samsung Q45 laptop, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTestingTeam/SamsungQ45Dalia
I had to put in a "Virtual" stance into my xorg.conf to get multi-head working.
Now when I start up with the external monitor connected, the width of the virtual desktop is set to the maximum even if the largest monitor does not cover it. The height is set correctly.
If I start X without the external monitor, the virtual desktop is set to the size of the laptop display.
I'll attach relevant outputs, but notice these lines from xrandr:
Without external monitor:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 2048 x 2048
VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm
With external monitor:
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2048 x 1050, maximum 2048 x 2048
VGA connected 1680x1050+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 434mm x 270mm
LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm |
