[Bug 370103] Re: [X300] full resolution - card requires tweaking

 

I downloaded an iso of the daily build for Saturday-- Ubuntu 9.10
"Karmic Koala" - Alpha i386 (20090829.2). I booted the iso "live" from a
USB stick and I did not see the reported behavior. Yay!

For a complete test I also copied an iso of the 9.04 "Jaunty Jackelope"
to a USB stick and booted it in exactly the same way and... I ALSO did
not see the reported behavior again !! Hmmmmm....

I did have trouble getting the chosen resolution and monitor arrangement
to "stick" when using the 9.10 live iso. (The resolution tool was never
able to successfully create a virtual desktop large enough to
accommodate two screens at max resolution. It will offer to create one,
tell me to logout, and then when I log back in, the virtual desktop has
not been created large enough to accommodate both screens.) A separate
problem?

On the PLUS side, The full 1680x1050 resolution is always properly
appearing as a choosable option for the large LCD monitor. (Unlike the
original reported behavior. I have not seen that happen in months.)
Thank you for all your work tracking this!
