>From your X logs, I don't see VGA1 showing up as detected or connected. Where are you seeing it as claimed as set? Are you looking at some other set of logs?
You mentioned you had tried this: $ xrandr --auto --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of LVDS1 $ xrandr --auto --output LVDS1 --mode 1440x900 --left-of VGA1 I'm not sure of that syntax though. Can you test this? $ xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --right-of LVDS1 --auto If you find a sequence that results in X freezing, please collect an i915_error_state and file a new report. Let's focus this bug on just the non-functioning external monitor. ** Summary changed: - Xorg freezes or an external display is not handled correctly + External display is not enabled correctly ** Summary changed: - External display is not enabled correctly + External display is not enabled correctly (Dell S2409W connected via VGA) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/979004 Title: External display is not enabled correctly (Dell S2409W connected via VGA) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/979004/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
