Anyway, this seems like a fairly basic problem... I'm running intrepid on an old Dell Inspiron 1100 (and yes also getting bug 261721, but this isn't a duplicate even if it is display related...) and it doesn't detect the laptop's display as a display in the monitor resolution settings when it bothers to use the display at all. Power manager only adjusts the displays brightness when it starts off on full, otherwise the bar is a slider of nothing at all. It detects external monitors just fine, and even comes up with alternative resolutions for them (gasp!) but when one is detected, it not only fails to detect but also doesn't use the laptop display at all. Sometimes (I thought it was just when the bios was starting it up on anything other than full brightness, but it does it sometimes now even though I've got it automatically starting on full brightness on AC power and on battery) it fails to use the display at all when ubuntu starts up. The bios displays fine as does windows, and hardy had no such problems, and intrepid gets right to the point where point where its startup screen bar fills up before the screen goes dead, if it's going to go dead. When the screen is dead, it makes all the right login sounds when i press the right keys and shuts down alright (though in a separate, less annoying bug, the power button doesn't do anything whatever setting power manager has) even turning the display back on to show me ubuntu's nice orange bar unfilling. so... release 8.10, I'm guessing it's an x window problem, but could someone please give this a bit of thought and help me report this properly? Thanks!
