[Bug 680614] [NEW] Position of second monitor wrong in dual monitor setup if first monitor is 1366x768

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I'm using a two-monitor setup with an ati graphics card (Mobility Radeon HD 4300) on my laptop(lenovo u450p).
The Laptop screen has a hardware resolution of 1366x768, the external monitor a hardware resolution of 1920x1080. 

If I set up the second monitor using

xrandr --output HDMI-0 --off
xrandr --output LVDS --auto
xrandr --output HDMI-0 --auto --right-of LVDS

(or the kde gui, the effects are equal)
I expect

1) the left 1366x768 area to be on the laptop screen, and 
2) the right 1920x768 area to be on the big monitor. 

But I observe:
1) happens as expected
2) happens almost. instead, the 2 rightmost pixels on the laptop monitor are repeated on the left border of the big monitor(filled with black to the bottom), in turn the two rightmost columns of the virtual display area are not visible on any monitor at all.

If I switch the laptop monitor resolution to 1280x720, this effect does not occur, and - except for the then blurred laptop screen - everything works as expected.
A screenshot shows the whole virtual desktop correctly.

Ubuntu version: 10.10 (maverick)
graphics card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M92 LP [Mobility Radeon HD 4300 Series]
xorg version: 1:7.5+6ubuntu3
I'm using the 'radeon' display driver, as detected by default. fglrx is not installed.
using kde 4.5.3
