Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I habe problems with my Dualscreen configuration on Karmic which worked
well under Intrepid. (I guessed it could be the video-intel package)

I've got two monitors:

1.) 19" LCD screen (1280x1024) - left
2.) 14" Laptop Screen (1440x900) - right

Both Screens are running and showing a part of the Desktop. But there
are two Problems i discovered.

1.) On Screen 1 there is only an area usable in the aspect ratio of the
right monitor which makes it not possible to put icons on the lower edge
of the monitor. I can change this from the gui tool. And align the right
monitor on bottom. And then the top Part of Screen 1isn't usable for
icons. For windows it works fine.

2.) Screen 2 contains all the Panels. In Intrepid Screen 1 contains the
panels which is what i want to have. Or at least an Option to say
"Screen 1 is the Main Screen".

Back on Intrepid i used to configure these settings through xrandr. This
is the script i used:

#Add the new Mode to the Screen
xrandr --newmode 1280x1024 138.54  1280 1368 1504 1728 1024 1025 1028 1069  -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1440x900 --output VGA1 --mode 1280x1024 --left-of LVDS1

I checked the names of the outputs are correct.

But if i try to execute this it puts out:

X Error of failed request:  BadName (named color or font does not exist)
  Major opcode of failed request:  149 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  16 (RRCreateMode)
  Serial number of failed request:  35
  Current serial number in output stream:  35

I was so glad to find xrandr in intrepid because i didn't have to use
the gui tool. And i had one script for work, one for home and one for
beamer configuration. But now theire all not working.
