In my case, I use a laptop also with external VGA. I just installed Karmic over Intrepid.
With Karmic the laptop comes up as primary but I want the Ext. VGA as primary when it is plugged in. I've had to add a script to switch both off and reset the External as Primary after each restart (of which I have lot because of lots of various issues with karmic). The reset script only works about one third of the time, (causing blank screen the other two thirds). With Intrepid the External was Primary when plugged in, (as I would expect most people using an external would require). Configure Display has no option for setting this though what I would wish to revert to is a way to say "Use External Display As Primary When Present". -- gnome panel has no way to specify on which screen it should appear https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/192009 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
