I tried the release you asked me to (12.04.0) and it exhibits the same problem. The VGA output works fine when the monitor is plugged in at boot up, but not if plugged in after booting.
By the way, I didn't state this before, but the VGA output worked fine under Windows, even when plugged in after booting. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1364292 Title: [Toshiba Portégé R600-10Q] VGA output doesn't work with Intel GM45 chipset Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I have just installed Ubuntu 14.04 64-bit on my Toshiba Portege R600-10Q laptop (a model from 2009). I am now trying to display the desktop on a BenQ Senseye3 22" monitor, via the vga output, but it's not working - the monitor says "No Signal Detected!". What I've done: I have gone into "Screen Display", where I can see the monitor is detected by the laptop. The monitor has a 1920 x 1080 native resolution, which I have tried to use, but I have also set it to lower resolutions, e.g. 1024 x 576. I have tried to use the monitor in dual screen, mirrored and single screen mode - none work. I have tried pressing Fn + F5 to get single screen output - the laptop screen goes blank, but still no output on the monitor. I have tried several monitors (of the same type, and also of a different make), so I don't think it's that. If I plug the vga cable in after boot up, then the monitor receives no signal. WORKAROUND: If, and only if, the monitor was plugged in to the PC's VGA output during boot up, then the display outputs to the monitor correctly. The laptop has the Intel® GS45 Express chipset for graphics acceleration. I installed mesa-utils and ran glxinfo in a terminal. Amongst the output was: OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset Also, in the "About This Computer" window I see: Graphics: Mobile Intel® GM45 Express Chipset I wonder if the problem is that my chipset is GS45 not GM45.
