Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
In 10.10 I could enable only the external vga output from my laptop disabling the LVDS (LCD attached to the laptop) using gnome-display- properties. In 11.04, if I try to do this, the LCD attached to the external vga output reports an OUT OF RANGE error, e.g. it's getting the wrong modeline or something. I've only tried the native resolution of the external LCD monitor, 1280x1024 at the two supported refresh rates of 60Hz and 75Hz and neither work properly. However, if I have both the LVDS and VGA1 enabled (e.g. , the external monitor), the external monitor works at the native resolution and at either refresh rates.
