[Bug 723002] [NEW] External monitor not working properly

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Description:	Ubuntu natty (development branch)
Release:	11.04


An external monitor 1280x1024 connected to my netbook ACER aspire one D250 does not work properly. By toggling with Fn+F5 I manage to see the netbook monitor only, both monitors cloned at low resolution 800x600 but not the external monitor alone. More precisely I do but only the left bottom corner of the monitor is used, seemingly a 1024x660 area corresponding to the resolution of the netbook. The mouse pointer can go everywhere in the monitor (also in the 'black' area), however by clicking in some position one obtains the effect that the click is done elsewhere.

Trying to manage the monitor with the Gnome monitor utility has the same
consequencies.
