[Bug 42898] Re: Connecting External Monitor does not work on Thinkpad x60
I think this bug has been fixed in Gutsy with the new Intel driver. You can use xrandr for configuring your external monitor (clone, extend, disable and so on). The problem that the screen switch key doesn't work with xrandr is another bug report e.g. Bug #157596. Marking as fixed. Feel free to open it again if external Monitor still doesn't work under Gutsy with external monitor and new Intel driver. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Fix Released -- Connecting External Monitor does not work on Thinkpad x60 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 42898] Re: Connecting External Monitor does not work on Thinkpad x60
I have the same problem with gutsy that Shot describes. I have gone back to the i810 module. To be more specific, /proc/acpi/ibm/video reacts properly to Fn-F7. But the video (xorg) just doesn't care. So when I boot, my laptop monitor is blank (as expected) all the way up until x starts. I don't know how many thinkpad users use external monitors, but having the intel module be the detected/default module will cause problems for those who do... -- Connecting External Monitor does not work on Thinkpad x60 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 42898] Re: Connecting External Monitor does not work on Thinkpad x60
For me (current Gutsy) the intel driver turns on both monitors and Fn+F7 still doesn’t work. Unfortunately, if the external monitor has bigger resolution (1280×1024 vs. internal’s 1024×768), both monitors are set to the bigger one, the internal monitor then shows only part of the viewport, *and* I can’t maximise windows past the *smaller* resolution. With i810, everything works as in Feisty (patched i810switch switches the monitors properly, windows maximise propery). -- Connecting External Monitor does not work on Thinkpad x60 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42898 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 42898] Re: Connecting External Monitor does not work on Thinkpad x60
I doubt the patch gets into Gutsy. Gutsy is supposed to have newer X that supports hot-plugging stuff like external monitors on a completely new level. It should take care of this bug.

I get the same as Kerouac (Thinkpad T60, Feisty): Fn + F7 doesn't work, but brightness control switches to external monitor. ?! The laptop display is switched off while the external monitor is on.
