[Bug 447903] [NEW] error in detecting screen resolution on external monitor

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

i've never had a linux distro properly detect my 40" lcd monitor that my
lappy plugs into (w/VGA, intel gma).  And the app test revealed that
there was "This display is using ERROR: xrandr -q should return a single
line with '*' resolution."  i don't know why but it always thinks its
connected to a 72" display and the resolution is just ok, not great
considering it's a 40" HD lcd.
