** Description changed: Hello, + + ***I have accidentally selected this as Baltix.... It's meant to be for + Ubuntu, I've tried changing it but it won't let me, oh well... I + tried*** I am presently running Feisty Fawn fine on my ThinkPad T40. I have set up a custom way for Ubuntu to detect an external screen on boot, and then ask to ask me whether I wish to mirror or extend onto the external screen. As such it was with a great deal of interest to use the new Screen and - Graphics Preferences tool to see how it fared. + Graphics Preferences tool (displayconfig-gtk) to see how it fared. I have tried this using the detected graphics driver (ati (radeon)) in the driver selection and not changed that. I have done this with the external screen plugged in on boot and plugged in after boot. When I chose my external display as a Generic 1024x768 LCD monitor having booted with it plugged in, and chose 1024x768 for the resolution; and chose mirroring, and clicked Ok, I got a crash report, unfortunately I could not send it because I did not have my wireless key to connect to my wireless network. I will try and submit it as soon as I have a solution. Trying to do the same having plugged the monitor in after booting, but this time clicked Test. I got something on the external screen, but the display was garbled badly on the laptop LCD, and after clicking cancel on the OK to use it; the whole system froze and would only respond to a power off. The T40 has a 32MB Radeon 7500. The external screen is in fact a 23" LCD JVC TV, but I have driven it using 1024x768 at 60Hz on Ubuntu 7.04 and Windows 2000. In fact on Ubuntu 7.04 I run it fine at its odd native resolution of 1360x768. Any more details you need please ask but it would appear that this does not work at all at present :( I am booting and using this from the live CD if that is of use. Good work otherwise!
