Hi, I have an external monitor which is an 20" 1280*1024. In windows 7 it works fine with that resolution but in ubuntu it can't.
Example: In windows I connect it and activates it, done. In ubuntu I connect and the only resolution that is available is the ones my laptop screen support, 12" 1366*768.
My laptop is an asus 1201n.
If I force it to use 1280*1024 both screen crashes and i have to force a reboot.
When I force it I only force the external monitor, the laptop is already at maximum 1366*768. I connect it throw VGA.
((The graphic card supports 1280*1024 in windows 7, #Fail))
