I have an Acer Aspire 5920 ZD1 with GMA965 (X3100). Loaded Hardy clean on it. Got an external LG 22' LCD Screen. When I boot with the external screen attached, the initial "Ubuntu" screen is shown. However it all disappears when X starts.
The <fn>-<F5> key does not work. Screen Resolution shows the external monitor correctly and also allows me to select it with the right resolution. However apply does not work. I can sense the LCD switch between Analog and Digital back and forth, but nothing. The solution I use is to select the external TFT which is detected and visible in Screen Resolution. Click on apply and then <ctrl> <Alt> <backspace>. Now when X restarts I see the display on both the laptop as well as the external in the correct 1690x1050 resolution However why does the Fn-F5 key not work and why do I have to kill X and then go back in ?
