Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

i have 2 monitors for my laptop:
laptop: 1440x900
external: 1280x1024
First I have only the laptop monitor enabled. Now i attach the external monitor and run /etc/X11/Xsession.d/45custom_xrandr-settings (or start gnome-display-settings). Now the second monitor got enabled, but at the bottom there is a part distorted. The first screen is 900 high, the distorted part is 1024-900 pixels.

In other words, the reserved memory in the video card seems not to be
extended in the vertical range.

In jaunty this was running fine.
