This issue appears to have been fixed in Ubuntu 10.10. The FGLRX driver now correctly displays on the internal LVDS connected panel.
I assume that this is from a corrected/updated version of the FGLRX driver rather than any other reason, since xrandr ( an extension implemented by the driver ) now correctly reports the screen capabilities. If the version of FLGRX driver used in 10.10 is provided as an update to the previous Ubuntu versions ( 9.04, 9.10, 10.04 ), I would further assume that the issue is fixed for those versions, but I have not verified that. Catalyst Control Center reports the following sofware versions 2D Driver Version 8.78.30 RandR Version 1.3 OpenGL Version 3.3.10237 -- No display on LCD panel when the fglrx driver is installed. Display on external VGA still works. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/572196 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
