Intel D820 here with Intel Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller. I use a docking station with two identical HP LA1951g monitors attached, one VGA, one DVI with a native resolution of 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz.
First, Natty failed to detect the native resolution of VGA monitor. It can only see 1024 x 768 (all effects were off). Maverick had no problems with seeing 1280 x 1024 (though have used a xorg.conf file). Even when docked and with the lid shut, the laptop still displays on the LVDS only (?!?) - and with a weird resolution too. Attempts to shut off the LVDS and force image on the external display leads to black screen on all three of them followed by a system freeze (CTRL+ALT+POWER is the only way to reboot it). Had no such problems whatsoever with Maverick so it must be a Natty bug. Have tried the xorg-edgers drivers and used the same xorg.conf file from Maverick to no avail. Since in its current status Natty is completely unusable, I had to put Maverick back (which I am using to write this post). Another thing: is it just me or the fonts did look a lot smoother and clearer in Maverick than Natty ? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745112 Title: [arrandale] desktop is messed up (goes black) when laptop is docked with two external 1920x1200 monitors (x86_64) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
