I have since figured out a little bit more. The motherboard I've been using is a development board. This board can support a flat panel display that would be suitable for a laptop.
Unfortunately, I'm unable to convince the board that it doesn't have a laptop LCD installed. On Ubuntu 10.04.1 LTS (which I switched to because I sorta prefer LTS) I was able to tell Xorg that I didn't want it to use the nonexistent "laptop" display. I believe all the LVDS errors are from the software trying to query this nonexistent display and failing. Further, I believe that the newer kernels/distributions are making little or no attempt to use the external display because of these problems. Should I file a bug against 12.04? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1004611 Title: no display output from i7-620LE "Arrandale" built-in Intel Graphics Device To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/plymouth/+bug/1004611/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
