[Bug 367557] Re: can't mirror monitors using "display properties" dialog because resolution not listed

[David]

Martin,

Unfortunately, I cannot easily do what you asked because of a recent update
to Jaunty resulted in me loosing WiFi connectivity.  So I am booting from a
CD of Jaunty 64 bit.

I just ran apport-collect 367557 after I logged out, connected the hdmi
external monitor and rebooted.  The problem of the smaller resolution screen
on the laptop appeared so I ran the apport-collect 367557 - and the list
should have this result.

That's the best I can do for the moment.  If I have time today, I'll connect
the laptop to the router via ethernet and do as you suggest with the change
of the Device section of xorg.conf as I cannot do this on a Live CD boot.

Hope this is helpful,

David
