I am trying to bring back both of my 2 displays(DVI-0, VGA-0) into a common resolution, as below:

Both DVI-0 and VGA-0 are different resolutions

The above problem is reported on Ubuntu-8.10-32-Bit.

The Same behavior is observed on openSUSE-11.0-32 Bit also

Comment 5 Alex Deucher 2009-02-06 07:15:21 UTC

can you attach the output of xrandr --verbose?

Comment 7 Alex Deucher 2009-02-10 07:36:41 UTC

I think --same-as only affects the relative output position, not the mode itself.

Comment 8 Maciej Cencora 2009-05-08 10:06:49 UTC

Changed product and component to Xorg Drivers/Radeon

Comment 9 Sunil Mekathotti 2009-09-13 23:15:07 UTC
