2nd monitor changes resolution on return from fullscreen
Posted: 17. Feb 2012, 19:15
I'm running a Win7 guest on an Ubuntu server, which has 2 monitors. The LEFT monitor is 1920x1200, the RIGHT monitor is 1680x1050.
My guest is set up for 2 monitors as well. In the windowed guest, I set both monitors to be 1024x768 resolution. In Windows, my primary display is set to be the LEFT monitor. If I put the windowed guest primary display on the left screen, and the secondary display on the right screen, I can switch to fullscreen and back, and the monitors revert back to 1024x768, however BOTH windows show up on my left monitor. If I move the secondary window to the right monitor, I can switch again with no ill effects, but if I leave both windows on the right monitor (or put the primary window on the right), I get weirdness: switching to fullscreen works, but when I switch back to windowed, the primary monitor returns to 1024x768 (and is on the RIGHT screen), but the secondary monitor switches to 1920x1154???. The wallpaper on that display is 1024x768, with a border around it. This monitor is maximized on the LEFT Ubuntu monitor. I have to restore the window, then manually shrink the window and then reset the resolution in windows to get it back to normal.
Does anyone know of a way to get the second monitor to stop going MAX and moving around when windowed?
