Thread: 12.10 - Extended Desktop - How to change virtual desktop size?

-

running: ubuntu studio 12.10
platform: acer aspire 1 ao751h
screen: 1366x768
video: integrated intel graphics media accelerator 500

dual monitor:

monitor: aoc 22
res: 1920x1080

ran: $ xrandr --output vga-0 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of lvds-0

got: $ xrandr: screen cannot larger 2048x2048 (desired size 3286x1080)

there no initial xorg.conf file edit , changed location /xorg.conf.d/ /usr/share/x11 in 12.10.

please advise me on best way virtual display (extended desktop) running properly. use setup work , appreciated

another method tried today yielded same result, was:

$ xrandr --output lvds-0 --mode 1366x768 --output vga-0 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of lvds-0

tried (sudo) root, still got same message:

$ xrandr: screen cannot larger 2048x2048 (desired size 3286x1080)

i've been reading through setting xorg.conf files today, none of methods i've been finding on forum have been working (they worked fine 10.04 lts install, unfortunately, ubuntu updated , system crashed).

looking forward - thanks!
