Title:
Displays setting not allowing overlay of screens, only cloned and side
by side
Status in unity-control-center package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
The "Displays" setting in Unity is not allowing overlay of screens (of
i.e. different resolution). This used to be possible and does not have
anything to do with the graphics drivers (it works in XFCE using
arandr). Using arandr under Unity does not work, though it initially
allows overlaying the different screens, but when applying these
settings the screen snaps back to a side-by-side view in the GUI and
this setting is applied. (Also, if I remember correctly, I was able to
overlay screens in a upgraded 13.04 installation, but not in a fresh
install of 13.04.)
The possibility of overlapping screens of different resolution is
nice, since for some applications it is good to show only parts of the
main screen on, say, a projector.
Regards,
Tom
