Yes, I tried. That did switch off the LVDS. But could not get the VGA working. I also tried doing:
xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --left-of DVI-0 xrandr --output VGA-0 --auto --right-of DVI-0 The above two commands would make a big screen, only a part of which is visible on DVI monitor. But no display on VGA. one change i did notice after doing this is xrandr displays a * along the 1280X1024 modeline: ~ > xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2560 x 1024, maximum 2560 x 1200 VGA-0 connected 1280x1024+1280+0 (normal left inverted right) 376mm x 301mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ 76.0 75.0 71.9 69.8 59.9 1152x864 75.0 74.8 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 DVI-0 connected 1280x1024+0+0 (normal left inverted right) 376mm x 301mm 1280x1024 60.0*+ 76.0 75.0 71.9 69.8 59.9 1152x864 75.0 74.8 1024x768 75.1 70.1 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 72.8 66.7 60.0 720x400 70.1 LVDS connected (normal left inverted right) 1400x1050 50.0 + 1280x800 60.0 1280x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 S-video disconnected (normal left inverted right) ** Attachment added: "xrandr_verbose" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/10114156/xrandr_verbose -- Can not use external VGA display (T43 + ATI + VGA) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/152021 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
