[Bug 771915] Re: Problem with Dual Monitors and Ubuntu 11.04

 

Hello,

I have the same problem on my X61 Tablet when using an external monitor
(Dell 2009W  1680x1050@60Hz) together with my laptop screen
(1024x768@60Hz).

I do not have an nvidia card, but instead:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960
Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c)

I am reporting this here in case this turns out to be a more general
problem.

I am setting them up  in an "extend" configuration, so the large screen
extends the desktop to the right.

This problem appeared a few weeks after the upgrade to 11.04 which is
strange. It worked fine in the beginning (even though the icons where
cropped on the top of the laptop screen (smaller height compared to the
large screen).

In my case it affects both Ubuntu and Ubuntu Classic Sessions (with or
without effects).

In ubuntu classic, I just get the desktop, initialy empty. I can pull a
terminal up (ctrl-alt-T) and type "gnome-panel" to get the panel and
work. Then the desktop icons also appear.

I do not know if this is helpful to this forum.
