Public bug reported:
Hello All,
For a long time I have had this this sketchy SOYO LCD monitor that I have
attached to my laptop.
I just got a new laptop a Dell Latitude E6410 and tried installing Ubuntu 10.04
on it.
I had lots of problems with the display so I decided to just use the 10.10 beta
since I had used 10.04beta and it worked pretty well.
Ubuntu has never detected the proper aspect ratio for this monitor so I
have always had to do some configuration with the xorg file to get it to
work.
Using bits and pieces of previous xorg files I finally came up with this
--------------------------Start
xorg.conf-----------------------------------------------
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Monitor0"
VendorName "Monitor Vendor"
ModelName "Monitor Model"
Modeline "1440x900_60" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync
+Vsync
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Card0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
SubSection "Display"
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1440x900_60.00"
EndSubSection
EndSection
------------------------------------end
xorg.conf------------------------------------------------------
This is the graphics chip: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation
Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
Getting the proper set up has not been an easy task. Here is some trial
and error that I have just run though. Prior to this trial and error I
did run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
monitor is unplugged
I boot
I login
I get to gnome
I go to system>preferences>Monitors
I plug in monitor
I press auto detect
System detects monitor, with correct resolution.
Both laptop screen and external screens are properly enabled.
I restart
Unplug monitor around bios prompt
I login
I get to gnome
I plug in monitor
I go to system>preferences>Monitors
