There are some pretty serious issues with laptops and external monitors. I refuse to stray off of the LTS releases, but my daughter recently ugraded from 10.10 to 11.04 and hasn't been able to get an external monitor to work reliably since. For instance... https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers/+bug/858046 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-settings/+bug/882143 https://bugs.launchpad.net/nvidia-drivers-ubuntu/+bug/882134 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1783636 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1863987 A Google search seems to indicate a number of problems, from Unity vs "Classic" to the nvidia driver, some of which claim to be fixed, others still open/unresolved. I'll know more when she's home for xmas in a couple of weeks, but for now I'm recommending she go back to and stay on 10.04 unless there's a compelling reason for upgrading. _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
