[Bug 1039925] Re: [12.04 LTS] cannot configure 1440x900 mirror display although optional

 

Uri Shabtay, as per http://www.msi.com/product/mb/H61M-E23--
G3-.html#/?div=BIOS an update is available for your BIOS (12.3). If you
update to this, does it change anything?

If not, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

Thank you for your understanding.

** Description changed:

- Hello everyone,
+ The computer is connected via DVI into a 19" screen and via HDMI into a 26" HDTV.
+ Within 'Displays' i chose to mirror displays with a 1440x900 resolution. But whenever i tried, Ubuntu fails to do so. It's a driver issue - since within the same PC under Windows 7, it works. Not only that, after the attempt, the computer get really slow until i'll reboot or eventually get a kernel panic.
  
- First - see AskUbuntu issue here, to clarify the details:
- http://askubuntu.com/questions/171623/how-to-configure-1440x900-on-two-
- monitors-in-mirror-displays
+ For more on this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/171623/how-to-
+ configure-1440x900-on-two-monitors-in-mirror-displays
  
- In short, i bought a new computer for my Mom:
- 
-     Processor : 4x Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz
-     Memory : 3943MB (1228MB used)
-     Operating System : Ubuntu 12.04 LTS -Resolution : 1024x768 pixels -OpenGL Renderer : Mesa DRI Intel(R) Ivybridge Desktop
-     X11 Vendor : The X.Org Foundation
-     Genius Multimedia Keyboard
-     ImPS/2 Generic Wheel Mouse
-     Venus USB2.0 Camera
- 
- The computer is connected via DVI into a 19" screen and via HDMI into a 26" HDTV. 
- Within 'Displays' i chose to mirror displays with a 1440x900 resolution. But whenever i tried, Ubuntu fails to do so. It's a driver issue - since within the same PC under Windows 7, it works. 
- Not only that, after the attempt, the computer get really slow until i'll reboot or eventually get a kernel panic.

Title:
  [12.04 LTS] cannot configure 1440x900 mirror display although optional

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  The computer is connected via DVI into a 19" screen and via HDMI into a 26" HDTV.
  Within 'Displays' i chose to mirror displays with a 1440x900 resolution. But whenever i tried, Ubuntu fails to do so. It's a driver issue - since within the same PC under Windows 7, it works. Not only that, after the attempt, the computer get really slow until i'll reboot or eventually get a kernel panic.

  configure-1440x900-on-two-monitors-in-mirror-displays
