Then have xrandr display to the VGA resolution and scale it to the LCD. <br /><br />I wrote a script to do this:<br />http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/newrez+-+Increase+Screen+Rez+For+Netbook?content=134686<br /><br />There's a zenity GUI and it can also be run from the command line (which also means you can set up launchers to it). marc41https://www.blogger.com/profile/07943919001916478330noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1402984000559601283.post-42478548155609603392012-09-30T11:15:39.254-05:002012-09-30T11:15:39.254-05:00There is an Xorg bug in Ubuntu 12.04 that prevents...There is an Xorg bug in Ubuntu 12.04 that prevents this from working any longer.

Under Bodhi 2.1 I do same, but cursor stops moving (and pulling) about an inch above screen bottom. I can hit the full screen button and the window will expand to the bottom of the screen, but cursor still stop about an inch above the bottom of the screen. I could access the whole screen with cursor under 1.4.

Krandrtray lays out everything as a button press, including monitor frequency in case auto does not work. It also has an auto rollback in case nothing worked. <br /><br />With E16, different sized screens seems to expand the desktop into a rectangle of the largest dimensions, so that a portion of the actual screen is hidden out of sight. I don't mind that behavior because the hidden screen space is visible in pagers and programs can be dragged into view. <br /><br />E17 on my laptop is a little disappointing because the second monitor, while properly sized, is not properly joined as a unified screen space. I can drag things into it, but they stay there regardless of what virtual screen I look at. This might be the version of E17 in Squeeze or me not knowing how to configure it.Will Hillhttp://physics.lsu.edu/~willhill/noreply@blogger.com
