Bug Description
Ubuntu Maverick Meerkat 10.10 (64 bits), fully upgraded.
With double (multi ?) screen, there is screen resolution problems.
Configuration -> I configured Ubuntu to disable the screen on my laptop (1280x800), to use an external sreen (1280x1024).
Grub2 : Laptop screen isn't disabled, external screen isn't enabled..
GDM :
- Rresolution is 1024x768 on both screens.
- On laptop screen that should disabled, image is stetched to fit with the screen resolution (1280x800).
- On external screen (1280x1024), image is stetched to 1280x800 resolution, and there is black strips on top and bottom.
Gnome loading : during first part of Gnome loading, resolution problem remains, but after a few seconds laptop screen is disabled and external screen is finally in 1280x1024 resolution.
You can also see the attached video (3gp).
