Filing a bug report regarding an issue with Debian 9 Streatch UltraWide moniotrs aspect ratio 21:9
Hello Debian desktop suers.... I am a happy Dabian 9 user. I would like to report an issue I am experiencing. In the past I used a package 'reportbug' to report bugs, but by design, I have to identify what package the issue is related to.
I am not sure exactly what may be the cause of the issue, and I am reaching out to you for help to identify what part of Debian might be causing this issue.
The issue: I am using a second monitor (external monitor connected via a displayport - LG 29UM57-P). External monitor connected to my laptop - Lenovo T420.
External monitor does not display video at the desired resolution and the aspect ratio.
Currently maximum displayed resolution - 1920 x 1080
Currently maximum aspect ratio - 16:9
Expected resolution - 2560 x 1080
Expected ratio - 21:9
This same exact issue exist on my other machine Lenovo X230 with external monitor of exact same model.
Previous version of Debian 8 (jessie) worked with out any issue with the monitor at the correct and expected resolution and the aspect ratio.
After installing a fresh version of Debian 9 (Stretch), I am unable to use the external monitor at its maximum resolution. Debian 9 (Stretch) was a full installation from scratch (not an upgrade).
All cables has been tested, and hardware issues has been ruled out.
I am not sure if I should be filing a bug report identifying Gnome3, or X11 or x.org as a cause of the issue or some other part of the OS.
Could you please advise what is the best way to file a bug so it get's to the correct team.
Thank you.
Damien
