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! -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
