[Bug 808677] Re: Failed to activate external monitor (dual monitor mode)

 

I have tested with a fresh install of Oneiric on a intel core i3 system.
I cannot reproduce the issue mentioned.

My internal display is resolution is 1280x800 while my external monitor is 1280x1024. The gnome control panel offers the following resolutions for the external monitor:
 - 1024x768
 - 800x600

I can run in dual monitor config with my internal resolution maxed at
1280x800 and any of the resolutions above for the external monitor.

The control panel used to propose the option to choose the maximum
resolution of my external monitor (1280x1024) but it doesn't do that
anymore. It has been like that for a month or so. Previously, if I had
tried to use the max resolution of the external monitor, things would
become very slow as if running in software. So I suppose the control
panel is more clever now and only offers resolution that can be
supported.

Please, test with a fresh install and a recent version of Oneiric.
