[Bug 577959] Re: secondary monitor is not correctly initialized
Since a longer while I usually use only one monitor, either the laptop internal one or only the external one (laptop closed and attached to docking station). However, I did have several presentations lately using beamer as secondary monitor. It worked flawlessly either in mirror or non-mirror mode. Side note: In the meantime I also switched laptop and from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04, so if this problem was related to particular motherboard or Linux Kernel, maybe the change of the laptop could have solved the issue (previously I had a Dell Latitude E5500, no I use a Dell Latitude E6530). But both were Intel graphics and not ATI. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577959 Title: secondary monitor is not correctly initialized To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-ati/+bug/577959/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 577959] Re: secondary monitor is not correctly initialized
Riccardo Masala, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ . If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xserver-xorg-video-ati REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Please note, given that the information from the prior release is already available, doing this on a release prior to the development one would not be helpful.

As I workaround you could create a script that you can run from a single click. My major issue I have is slightly different (see Bug #613650) and I use a variant of such a script at gdm startup. #!/bin/sh #xdisplaycheck.sh xrandr -q | grep VGA-0 | grep " connected " # 0 is returned on success if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then xrandr --output VGA-0 --left-of DVI-0 fi You might also want to have a look at http://it- tactics.blogspot.com/2010/08/ubuntu-1004-with-docking-station.html where I have written about my problem(s) with the external monitor. -- secondary monitor is not correctly initialized https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/577959 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
