Bug Description

Gnome Panel on Toshiba Tecra M8 running Gutsy is too short compared to the width of the display but all the applications can be moved outside the limit of the gnome panel. Exactly the same problem as that there: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/153160

To prevent Gnome from displaying short toolbars, simply run the command in a terminal session: xrandr --output TV --off. In order to make this change permanent, add the following section to /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

Section "Monitor"
Identifier "TVOutput"
Option "Disable" "true"
EndSection

Then, add the following option to the existing "Device" section:

Option "monitor-TV" "TVOutput"

Looks like we have this quirked in Hardy, so can just backport the quirk. Here is a deb with the Hardy TV out quirks:
