I have an issue with my dual monitor setup on my laptop. This is a problem that appeared after I upgraded last week from Jaunty to Karmic.
My laptop uses the Intel HD4500 graphics card. I have my regular laptop screen (13" widescreen) which is configured fine. The "external" monitor is a 19" (4:3 aspect ratio) monitor that supports resolutions up to and including 1280x1024. In Jaunty I was able to use this dual monitor setup perfectly fine - both the laptop and external monitors were configured optimally without any problems. Since upgrading to Karmic, I cannot get Ubuntu to set the correct resolution for the external monitor. The resolutions I have available are:
1360*768 (16;19)
1152*864 (4:3)
1024*768 (4:3)
800*600 (4:3)
640*480 (4:3)
If it is useful, my xorg.conf looks like this:
Code:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 2560 1024
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
... and looks pretty bare. Doesn't look especially correct to me but I don't know much about Xorg! Any and all advice would be gratefully received. =)
