Hi Group,
I wanted to report a bug (or a feature) but don't know where it's adequate.

If you have a less capable monitor (or a beamer) connected to the second
output of your notebook the Xorg server will reduce the main resolution to
the notebook as well.
This happens with a I810 driver e.g. together with Ubuntu (Xorg).

This is IMHO a bug, since a lot of people will react twaeking their config
files to death.

Where is the right place to report it?

Thank you

Laszlo



It may well be hardware limitation. ISTR that the i810 chipset basically parallels the ports; unlike, say, the newer NVidia chipsets it cannot provide a different signal on each port.
