--- Comment #15 from Carlos Mafra
But that also points out a deficiency in xorg, IHMO. Why can't we have _both_ screens showing the same things at their native resolutions? That's what the kernel seems to do while booting.
You could do this by enable scaling on the smaller screen (xrandr --scale option), but this looks rather awful.
But then it's different. It's never awful to use a monitor/flat panel at their _native_ resolution. I would like to see things with 1280x800 on the laptop and 1920x1200 on the monitor.
But from my user standpoint the kernel does a much better job than xorg now. During boot I get both screens working nicely together, each one at their native resolution.
It shows nothing more than a static splashscreen.
No, I removed the splashscreen to see the boot messages both from the kernel and from the init scripts. After seeing that it's possible to do this (native res. for both screens at the same time), no other solution seems as good for me. After KMS my expectations are quite high on this front :-) I don't know how to code xorg to do what the kernel does, but from what I see everyday in the morning from the kernel side when I boot, it should be possible. Or perhaps I am completely wrong, I don't want to complain to people who actually code things up. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
