Lower resolution of LVDS-0 in different aspect-ratio nVidia

http://unix.stackexchange.com – I am trying to clone 2 displays. I have a laptop with 1440x900 resolution and an external monitor with 1024x768 resolution. I want the laptop screen to show the same as the external monitor however, since the last update I cannot select a lower resolution for the laptop than it's native resolution of 1440x900 in nvidia-settings. Simply put, I want the laptop screen to display 1024x768 and cloned to the external monitor. I have looked into xrandr and came to the following commands, however this does not work. dennisf@anarki:~$ cvt 1024 768 60 # 1024x768 59.92 Hz (CVT 0.79M3) hsync: 47.82 kHz (HowTos)

Stories similar to Lower resolution of LVDS-0 in different aspect-ratio nVidia

I'd like to disable my laptop monitor at startup (when an external monitor is connected), but make it available in X.By default, my boot looks like :* Grub2 displays only on my external monitor (at maximum resolution)* Kernel displays only on my external monitor (maximum resolution)* udev (I think) is started and turns on my laptop screen.

I have a Dell Inspiron 4000, 900 Mhz Pentium III, 192 MB RAM,10.1 GB disk running Lubuntu 12.04. When I start the computer, and I check the display resolution, Monitor Settings claims that the max resolution is 1024x768.

At work I use a Dell Latitude E4300 with a resolution of 1280x800 and an external monitor with a resolution of 1280x1024. I'm runnin g Natty on it with Gnome 3. Everything is working OK, but the desktop seems to be 1024 pixels high on both screens, so it extends past the bottom of the laptop's screen, which makes using any sort of dock or just a bottom panel pretty annoying.

heya,

I have the same issue on two laptop computers with Intel Graphic Chip sets.

1st Laptop - Intel GMA 4500

Laptop display resolution is fine however external monitor will not go higher than 1024x768. On windows this computer manages 1366x768 with the same monitor.

2nd Laptop - Intel GMA 950

Laptop display resolution is fine however external monitor will not go higher than 1024x768.

i have Dell Latitude E5430 laptop with Intel GMA HD 4000 graphics. Ubuntu 11.10 unrecognizes graphics and system info shows it as "Unknown". My external monitor ViewSonic VG730m is also listed as "Unknown". Maximum resolution i can take is 1024x768. Optimal resolution for monitor is 1280x1024.

I've recently installed 11.2 and find that today docking the laptop for the first time doesn't automatically enable the external monitor. I was expecting the external monitor to be enabled and the laptop screen to be disabled as the lid is closed anyway, i.e. the video to be switched to the external monitor when docked.

ok so for starters, im using BT5R3, no probs.

i have an EEE pc 1005HAB and it has a intel GMA 950 chipset. my primary laptop monitor's resolution is 1024x600, works no problem. my secondary monitor which is to the right of monitor0, is running at 1024x768.

the problem is, my 2nd monitors native resolution is 1600x1200.

I am having trouble setting the correct resolution on my external monitor via HDMI

I have the gen3 Sandy Bridge processor with an Nvidia card. After I installed the Nvidia driver I got 640x800 resolution on my laptop monitor, but was able to set 1080p on my external monitor.
