Description Jörgen Lindroos 2005-10-28 10:50:11 UTC

If I change monitor and the sync settings is invalid I have to go to a virtual 
console and fix the problem manually by changing xorg.conf, I also have to try 
to find the correct figures somewhere on the net, and I also don't get any 
standard values. This is way to bad. If I compare with Windows, it's no problem 
to change to another monitor. At least I never experienced problems with this. 
So, it's possible to change this (if Windows can, of course Linux can, isn't 
it). 

As I see it, the way it should work is that the user gets a message that 
another monitor has been installed and a possibility to change the values of 
the monitor, giving guessed figures. However that is not how Xorg acts.

I installed Ubuntu Linux on 20 computers over network and sent them to Romania, 
where we have a help aid work. Ubuntu is good 'cause much have been translated 
to romanian. Then they keep calling me about this sync problems. The best would 
be some kind of patch...

Please tell me if this problem belongs to another system, like Gnome or Ubuntu. 
In that case bug is solved for your concern.
