[Bug 1543872] Re: Desktop streched across both screens

  Thread Previous • Date Previous • • Thread Next 
sjp333, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu better.

As per
http://h20564.www2.hp.com/hpsc/swd/public/readIndex?sp4ts.oid=5428369&swLangOid=8&swEnvOid=4192
an update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available
(1.34). If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible:
1) Please provide the output of the following terminal command (not perform an apport-collect):
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date
2) Please make a comment specifically advising on if there was an improvement or not.
3) Please mark this report Status New. If it's not reproducible, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

- I have a intel laptop with a nvidia k2100m quadro GPU. Intel HD graphics controls the internal display and the nvidia card handles the display port out. When trying to utilize a dual monitor setup the output of the desktop looks like its been stretched across both displays. It appears like the resolution is very low and the mouse pointer is incorrectly calibrated with its location on the screen. The dual monitor setup is completely useless with this bug. I believe this https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1382462 is the same issue filed way back in 2014. However, it was never resolved. This is a pretty big issue. Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
