[Bug 386366] [NEW] Xubuntu laptop display/resolution issues

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I like Xubuntu.  I tried it on several computers but ran into a video
problem.  There is no support for Widescreen monitors.  I installed it
on my Netbook with a 9 inch screen.  Normally I run 1024x600 display
resolution with Ubuntu.  When I installed Xubuntu it seemed to work,
but...

When I click on the Settings Manger, the button that says 'Close' if
below the bottom of the screen.  You can't click on the button or move
the window higher.  The only way to close the window is to click the X
at the upper right of the screen and quit without saving any changes.
The Settings Manager wasn't the only program that had this problem.

I had a similar problem on a laptop with a 14 inch screen.  When I run
with 800x600 resolution, the 'Close' button is also below the bottom of
the screen.  There is no possible way to click on it.  I didn't have
this problem at 1024x768 resolution.

It seems like Xubuntu does not support screen resolutions less than
1024x768.  Bummer.  This would be the perfect netbook operating system
it could fit on smaller displays.
