Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gdm
I am on 10.04.1, Kernel 2.6.32-24-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jul 5 09:22:14 UTC 2010 i686 GNU/Linux. Hardware: Dell Latitude E-5500 I have a port replicator / docking station in the office and under 9.04 (and later upgraded to 9.10) I had no problem putting the notebook with lid closed into the dock and after turning on running with external monitor as the only used display. Now, after clean install of 10.04 + applying all updates, when I do the same, the notebook monitor is kept considered by Ubuntu. Although I see the login screen on the external monitor (with lower resolution - maybe in parallel displaying also on the imaginary - because closed - notebook builtin monitor). After login I see empty desktop without notification area, task bar or menus. When opening the notebook lid I can see all the elements there. Changing monitor order (left and right) does not keep the settings until reboot. I also tried using arandr - configured monitor settings - only lasted until next reboot. After fiddling around a long time and trying a lot of things (other people have similar problems out in the wild) I got it to work with changing gdm startup script + adding an additional script that I run on X startup - a quite long story, that can be read here: http://it-tactics.blogspot.com/2010/08/ubuntu-1004-with-docking-station.html BTW: I don't have an xorg.conf. This issue is a regression - it worked in 9.04 and 9.10 (upgraded from 9.04).
