[Bug 153728] Re: Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out
Not sure how relevant it is but just trying to spread the word that there are still some foibles in Intrepid: I have just fully configured dual screen via screen preferences in Intrepid on a Lenovo T60 with an Intel 945 but it would only work after running the following command: "xrandr --output VGA --off" -- Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153728 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
[Bug 153728] Re: Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out
Thank you for reporting this bug and for your efforts to make Ubuntu better. As Xorg has improved this past year, an unfortunate side effect of these improvements is that it has rendered several design assumptions in displayconfig-gtk obsolete. So, starting with Hardy we are no longer putting displayconfig-gtk forth as a primary configuration tool, and are putting our development focus into the Screen Resolution applet. As a result, we do not plan to fix this bug and thus are closing it.

I believe that displayconfig-gtk has been deprecated with the extended desktop functionality being added to Intrepid.

[Bug 153728] Re: Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out
I have the same problem on my IBM x61 laptop. The secondary screen is always disabled. I tried to use xrandrx to enable VGA output, but it is always disconnected even the monitor is connected. I can't switch to my external monitor. Sebastian you mentioned that this would be fixed in half a year (by now).

[Bug 153728] Re: Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out
Ok I must check this, but my first impression was that xrandr/grandr deals mostly with rotation/reflection - and it's not what i need. But I must dig into this topic deeper, I think. Anyway I assume that the lack of support for intel driver to be configured via displayconfig-gtk is a bug, which should be fixed in next realease of Ubuntu. -- Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153728 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

Grzegorz: take a look at the given link. Alternatively there is graphical user interface for the xrandr command line tool that is called grandr It will be fixed in an half year. But I hope to make packages for Gutsy available before.

[Bug 153728] Re: Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out
I have the same problem with my Laptop (MAXDATA ECO 4510 IW) with Intel 945GM. I tried to connect TV (LCD) via VGA-cable. But: - Secondary screen in Xorg configuration tool is always disabled when I'm using 'intel' driver - when I changed to i810 driver and restarted X, system freezes on "running local scripts" and I'm not able to do anything, must switch back to backup xorg.conf file (with 'intel' driver) (and btw. I prefer intel driver, because it sees my native screen resolution 1280x800 by default, without any hacks, which were needed in i810) - the Fn-F4 (key combination for changing screens on my laptop) does not work at all: nothing happens when I press it So I'm stuck at this moment and not able to connect to external TV. I have no other "standards" monitor or projector to test it. Sebastian - why can I do it with intel driver? Is it a problem of the driver?

Sorry. You cannot configure a second monitor using displayconfig-gtk and the intel driver. But you can with the xrandr tool: http://www.intellinuxgraphics.org/dualhead.html As far as I know cloning will always resize. -- Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153728 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
[Bug 153728] Re: Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out
Sebastian: Could you please be a bit more explicit about "this doesn't work"? Does panning vs. resizing not work, or does dual monitor not work, or is it simply that displayconfig-gtk doesn't work with the intel driver? If the latter, can everything be achieved with the xrandr command line tool? It does seem to have gotten better at detecting monitors. -- Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153728 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
[Bug 153728] Re: Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out
This does not work with the intel driver. You would have to choose the i810 driver to get it done in displayconfig-gtk or use the command line tool xrandr. -- Gutsy Screen Prefs: Thinkpad X60 Secondary Screen grayed out https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153728 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

I don't know what I did, but on Friday, I had both the projector and the screen mirrored. It must have had to do with the order of connecting the projector. I'll try and check it out next week and see what did it.

Same thing here with a Dell D600 Latitude laptop. I can change the display from the laptop to the projector using Fn F8, but I like to look at my laptop instead of the screen that is behind me.
