[Bug 610582] Re: Can't set monitors

 

Hm.  That xorg.conf looks like it should work to me.  Could you please
attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log generated when you use it?

I suspect that the Monitors dialog isn't showing other options because
Xinerama disables the XRandR extension that is normally used to handle
dynamic resolution switching, but the Xorg.0.log would make that more
obvious.

One configuration option you could try is to just remove all the
unwanted resolutions from the xorg.conf - so your Screen section would
become:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "screen1"
        Device "SiS USB2VGA"
        DefaultDepth 16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth 16
                Modes "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth 8
                Modes "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth 24
                Modes "1024x768"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

It might also be worth changing the DefaultDepth to 24 to match the
other screen.

If these don't work, the Xorg.0.log file generated would be useful to
work out why it's not working.
