Please see comment #24 - it is fixed with the latest nvidia driver package from kubuntu (to be precise the computer now correctly detects the resolution of the one external monitor I've tried it with since I installed the update last week). I have no idea if the edid options in xorg work and no intention to test them.
The installation of this driver as been problematic - the first install (and reboot) resulted in no compositing. Reinstalling appeared to fix this. However applications that normally use the hardware accelerated opengl from nvidia appears to have switched to software opengl and are using mesa - I've no idea how to fix this. The nvidia driver (or something else) is <still> broken for my macbook pro because the external monitor still turns off when a movie starts. This basically wrecks the machine for presentations. Testing with the next release will have to wait until I upgrade to the next release - I have no easy way to do this and don't anticipate moving to 12.xx for some time. I'm not sure what you are asking wrt the kernel? Are you asking for me to test this with http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel- ppa/mainline/v3.0.28-oneiric/ ? My immediate focus is to try to get the opengl libraries working again... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/908937 Title: nividia / external monitor / macbook pro To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/908937/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
