[Bug 445170] [NEW] [Karmic] Xorg doesn't display full area on external monitor

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I plugged in my Dell 24" S2409W with HDMI into my Lenovo IdeaPad Y650
(418534U) and turned on the dual monitor using the Display applet.
Correct resolution found: 1920x1080 but the full screen could not be
used. It's as if the screens are overlapping, but they are not set to do
that in the applet.

2 screenshots are attached. One is a photo of my computer when the
screensaver was on. You can see the area that is essentially inactive. I
expected the displays to show the full screens for each monitor.
