The hanging is no longer a problem, but using an external monitor has become much worse on Gutsy. I still use the "intel" (modesetting) driver. It is the only driver that gives me a high enough resolution.
I cannot find out by which logic it now decides when to provide output to the external VGA. On my home monitor, where I'd rather have the LCD blanked, it always shows both. When I use a projector, when I really need both on, it only shows on the projector. The "Screens and Displays" control does not seem to do very much at all for my situation. The "secondary screen" option is always off with my home monitor. It is on with the projector, but only allows the option "Extend default screen". It is hard to see whether that works since it won't actually display both screens. At home, I can toggle the laptop panel with xrandr --output LVDS --off and xrandr --output LVDS --auto With the external projector, this has no effect. The laptop panel is always off. Also, panning still doesn't work. (My expectation is that if the resolutions of the primary and cloned monitor do not match that I have the choice between panning and scaling on the clone.) -- Attaching or detaching external monitor causes untold grief https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121252 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
