Jeff Lane, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue that you reported is one that should be reproducible with the live environment of the Desktop CD of the development release - Precise Pangolin. It would help us greatly if you could test with it so we can work on getting it fixed in the next release of Ubuntu. You can find out more about the development release at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing/ . Thanks again and we appreciate your help.
** Tags added: dual-head ** Description changed: Natty testing on the ThinkPad T510. Neither the external VGA nor DisplayPort ports work when connected to an external monitor. I tried both waiting for the automatic config that should happen as well as using the hotkey to turn on the external monitors. - Nothing I tried was successful. + WORKAROUND: The system needed the proprietary nVidia drivers, and those + require the nVidia config tool to do anything at all with the external + ports.
