Hi all,
I have an old 8.04 Ubuntu box with dual head setup on monitor and TV, and it runs fine. Recently I got a new system, put Intrepid on that and tried to setup dual head. But it seems to me that Intrepid has some differences (or bugs?) that prevents me to setup correctly. The monitor runs fine, but on the TV, the X size is always bigger than the real size of the TV (like http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=209474 or http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=379034). Unfortunately adding Virtual in xorg.conf does not help to solve my problem.
So my main question is: if Virtual is to control Virtual Screen Size, then which will control the X (or desktop) size? Is it Modes, or Modelines? How can I set the desktop size to be smaller than the Virtual Size?
Thanks,
D.
