Thank you sir! Unfortunately, this was a very long time ago and I don't even have that laptop any longer.
Only recently (within 2 weeks) has there been an AMD driver that allows my HP Pavillion system to run dual monitors with xinerama under 11.10. I really hope Ubuntu solves the video issue soon. Nowadays many users are accustomed to using multiple monitors. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Timo Aaltonen Sent: Monday, January 09, 2012 4:29 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [Bug 394006] Re: external display not recognized The reason why it doesn't automatically recognize it is that you're using the NVIDIA proprietary driver, which needs further configuration to enable dualhead. ** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-nv (Ubuntu) => nvidia-graphics- drivers (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: nvidia-graphics-drivers (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/394006 Title: external display not recognized Status in “nvidia-graphics-drivers” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: When I first installed Ubuntu about 6 weeks ago, I plugged in an external display and it was recognized and configured immediately. Now, perhaps because of an automatic update, my laptop will not recognize the display while running Ubuntu. (It does under Vista). I have a 64 bit HP Pavillion dv9500 with a NVidia graphics card.
