Public bug reported:
I have used Ubuntu since 5.10, and really enjoyed 5.10. When 6.06 came out, I
attempted to use it as well. I had no problems with video on my desktop
computer, however, 6.06 & higher won't detect the proper monitor on my Gateway
Solo 9500.
I have not found any places to change the monitor in Ubuntu - only option is to
change the screen resolution and frequency. The monitor is a fairly common LG
(LG 1520). If I install 5.10 on this laptop, it works flawlessly. If I fresh
install 6.06 (and now 6.10) it doesn't work - it has a split screen and no way
to correct it. Ubuntu needs a way to select the monitor like other flavors of
Linux have, or allow the installer to select a monitor on installation. Safe
graphics mode doesn't work either. If I use newer than 5.10, I have to install
5.10, and then upgrade it. It then seems to work.
Note: the original reporter indicated the bug was in package 'x-display-
manager'; however, that package was not published in Ubuntu.
