i'm guessing you meant 800x800, not 800x600 -- that's the difference
between the actual res (1280x800) and what "xdpyinfo" is showing.
nope, I didn't. I meant 800x600, because that's the most common 800 wide
resolution. X's 'screens' are always rectangular - so if you have one
head at 1600x1200 and another at 800x600 it'll just give you a square at
2400x1200, it won't give you an odd polygon with the exact right
heights. Actually, if you use such a setup, you'll notice you can scroll
the mouse off the bottom of the smaller display (in most WMs, I think
some 'fix' this). Anyway, not really important what the res of the
phantom display is.
so,
yes, it shows LVDS at the correct res (1280x800), but i don't see
where it recognizes a second display.
me either, which is interesting, because...
oh, wait ... i just ran System->Prefs->Display and, sure
enough,
there was an additional 800x600 display. where did that come from?
i certainly didn't select that kind of config during install.
...this app and xrandr really ought to agree. strange that they don't.
well, please definitely attach Xorg.0.log - and probably that dmesg
output, too - to the bug report, as I asked. adding the above
information about gnome-display-properties (perhaps even a screenshot)
would help too. thanks!
