Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-control-
I am unable to configure my monitors using System -> Preferences -> Display using a fresh installation of Ubuntu 9.10 Alpha 6.
My graphics card is a Radeon HD 4850 and two monitors are attached to the system:
- BenQ G2400WD, native resolution of 1920x1200, attached over HDMI
- Samsung SyncMaster 930BF, native resolution 1280x1024, attached over DVI
On first startup, both displays came up in mirror mode, showing the same with a resolution of 1280x1024.
Disabling mirror mode and setting higher resolution on the BenQ prompts to set the virtual resolution. After accepting it asks to logout and back in again.
After logging out and back in however, nothing has changed, mirror mode is still enabled with both displays running at 1280x1024.
