Description Michael Catanzaro 2018-02-06 15:36:45 UTC 
mcatanzaro: So g-c-c now allows me to set my screen resolution to 640x480
Not sure why this would be useful
piotrdrag: mine can be set to 320x240
hadess: sigh
hadess: please file bugs for those

I believe g-c-c used to limit the available resolutions to something more reasonable.
Comment 1 Sebastien Bacher 2018-07-09 11:24:56 UTC 
The old codebase used to have

"/* The minimum supported size for the panel, see:
 * http://live.gnome.org/Design/SystemSettings */
#define MINIMUM_WIDTH 675
#define MINIMUM_HEIGHT 530

with a should_show_resolution listing only the values respecting 

  if (width >= MIN (output_width, MINIMUM_WIDTH) &&
      height >= MIN (output_height, MINIMUM_HEIGHT))
    {"

The issue is still there in the current version, unsure if the filtering should be done on the g-c-c side though?

Fixed in mutter (can't move this bug there it seems):
