Description Jerone Young 2007-06-24 13:02:28 UTC
On a Lenovo Thinkpad T61 with a 1400x900 screen. Using Fedora Core 7 (live CD) or even Ubuntu Gusty you get a very STRANGE issue. Both Gnome and KDE will only display in the first 1024x768 pixels of the screen. Now X is running at 1400x900 and you can see apps can stretch to this resoultion. But the Gnome and KDE bars still stay in this place. Further more the Gnome display resolution app only shows a max resolution of 1024x768. I will attach pictures that give a better idea of what is going on. 

Here is some useful data that could help:

There is an ubuntu thread on this problem also:

Comment 7 Volker Braun 2007-06-30 23:38:03 UTC
The following fixes the issue:

xrandr --output TV --off

Apparently TV out is enabled by default, and various programs try to fit into resolution constraints. I suggest that the TV out be disabled by default because

1) This resolution thing is extremely confusing
2) Power usage (presumably TV out needs some juice, haven't tested it though)
Comment 8 Jerone Young 2007-07-01 01:03:28 UTC
Wow! That worked! Intresting thing though is my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 does not have a TV output port on it (there could be one on the optional docking station). No matter. That fixed the problem.
Comment 9 Jerone Young 2007-07-03 08:38:25 UTC
Just to add more info to the bug. Lenovo DOES NOT have a TV output option for any of the Thinkpads using Intel x3100 on docking stations either. Only VGA & DVI.
Comment 10 Eric Anholt 2007-07-13 01:04:37 UTC
*** Bug 11551 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Comment 11 Eric Anholt 2007-07-13 12:04:38 UTC
Due to repeated issues with TV load detection on hardware with no TV option (which is the usual case), our plan is to only advertise the TV output on known models if possible.
