Laptop is HP nx9105 with nVidia NV17 [GeForce4 450 Go 32M] rev.a3 With Gutsy, it is like this:
With distributional X driver: If the external monitor is plugged in during startup, it works, even Ubuntu startup logo is OK, until the graphical mode (GDM) is started. Then, blinking textual nonsense is displayed on the external monitor. Fn-F4 seems to switch to internal-only, then external-only. When both-monitors is enabled again, the image on internal LCD is garbled. Seems narrowed by 1/3 and overlayed on right side. Interestingly, when the screen is blanked during inactivity, and then restored (e.q. by moving a mouse), the textual nonse on external monitor is greyscaled. When rebooting, text mode is entered, so that external monitor can be read again, however if it faded to the greyscale before, the text is also grey, with limited visibility. See pictures attached. ** Attachment added: "garbled internal monitor screenshot" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/11473042/IMG_3403-internal.JPG -- External monitor switching dosen't works properly on HP nx9105 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/177160 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
