well... a bit later... not really solved for me: once not connected to the external monitor and just running on my laptop screen x-server would not start and i could get no graphical screen.
had to modify xorg.conf again in order to get it started. what would be a xorg.conf that would allow me to use my laptop scree when i am not connected and the external screen when i am connected to it?? would appreciate your help! stephan -- ext monitor recognition after upgrade intrepid ibex 8.10 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/295709 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
