Description Vincent Untz 2008-04-17 18:34:45 UTC 
1. Run gnome-display-properties
2. Click detect
3. See that you have a second monitor in the canvas. The size looks good
4. Look at the proposed resolutions for this monitor: they're not good.

More specifically, it should list 1440x900 for me. And it lists 1400x1050 (which is the resolution of my main monitor)

Note that it works fine if I run "xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --right-of LVDS" first.

Which driver and what is the output of xrandr?

I don't have the external screen anymore... And I'm not sure on which computer it was -- so it was either a r300 card (running with the radeon randr12 driver) or a newer radeon card running with radeonhd.

See bug #441404 about making sax2 not set up static configurations, so that the tools will be able to actually use the resolutions that are reported by monitors.
Comment 5 Federico Mena Quintero 2009-02-06 20:19:04 UTC 
Marking as duplicate as the SaX bug is the root of these problems.
