Luckily, Ubuntu created my 2x2 array of workspaces on the external monitor as well. I use Workspaces a lot, and I want to continue to use them whenever I have an external monitor connected.

I cannot see the whole desktop at once, so I have to move the cursor to the end of the screen to move the view to that portion of the monitor.Īttempting the same, without panning, cases the UI (or the titlebar) to be scaled to a usable size, but the bottom 33% of the screen is covered by the top of my laptop's desktop (I have the external monitor above my laptop), and 33% of the right side is black, and I can't move my mouse there. That scales the desktop on the external monitor to 2560x1440, but it is 'magnified' in to 1920x1080. I thought if I could upscale my external monitor by 33% (which becomes 2560x1440, very close to 2560x1600, just 16:9). Ideally, I want the scaling to be identical to on the MacBook screen. Whenever I connect my 21' 1920x1080 monitor, everything is blown up (by around 33%). Since I mostly use my MacBook on the go at campus etc., I have everything set to scale with that display (using the Scale for menu and titlebar option under Display-settings.). My current use case - connecting a 1920x1080 display and use it alongside the built-in 2560x1600 (16:10) monitor.

It is a MacBook Pro 13', running Ubuntu 16.04 (with MacBook 11.1 xenial), Unity and Compiz. I am having some troubles with properly using multiple monitors on my Ubuntu machine.
