I would like to report that this is still an issue with Kubuntu 12.04 on my Dell Inspiron 1520. The last time it worked for me was with Kubuntu 9.10. It is really a pitty that this bug is still around. My workaround was to use Xubuntu whenever I have to give presentations with my laptop. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585258 Title: switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/585258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 585258] Re: switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04
Hey folks, can we get this fixed? It's also a problem on the Dell E6500, and possibly the entire E6xxx series (as well as precision and other more recent Dells). I've recently posted this.. [ubuntu] 10.4 upgrade - Fn F8 (external monitor flip) not working (post #7) http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=11176214postcount=7 ..where I note that it appears that the scancodes that are issued by the Dell E6500 keyboard are now different than the ones that were issued by my Dell D820 (and on which fn+f8 external monitor switch works with 10.04.x). Is the keyboard driver and its default keymaps bound into the kernel? If so that'd explain Lucio Crusca's observations of the behavior being different with only booting different kernel revs. For a workaround is it possible to dynamically load a new keymap that'd fix this problem? Please, please, please, can we fix this -- I have to do the external monitor switch thing all the time and I really want to get my E6500 working properly. thanks!!! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585258 Title: switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/585258/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I have the same problem with my Precision M4400 - Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS amd64. I cannot switch to external monitor with Fn+F8 buttons also when it's docked (both VGA and DisplayPort on PR03X docking-station). The only way to switch monitor is via nvidia-settings (fortunately saving the configuration it switch automatically if I connect external monitor before booting) I have no problems with karmic 64 any suggestions? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585258 Title: switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I add that when I press Fn+F8 in linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic after gdm has started, nothing happens but a new line is written to dmesg: dell-wmi: Unknown key 42 pressed Moreover I'm not sure that the time when it stops working is exactly when gdm starts, it could very well be sometime during bootup before gdm. -- switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585258 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 585258] Re: switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04
Recent Ubuntu updates made the problem appear also in latest 9.10 kernel, namely linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic. However with that kernel (and only that), if I press Fn+F8 during boot before gdm starts, the external vga gets the output, but after gdm has started Fn+F8 stops working and does nothing. Since latest updates did not touch linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic, but only other packages, I suspect this problem could be related to other packages also/only, but I don't know how to check if it's such a case. It seems there were no udev nor acpi updates recently, and I don't know what other package could influence the support of Fn+whatever. Any help appreciated. -- switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585258 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 585258] Re: switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04
I ended up using a precompiled 2.6.34 mainline kernel instead of compiling myself upstream sources (they told me it's basically the same thing). Test results: the same as 2.6.32, Fn+F8 does nothing in X and outputs a p in gnome-terminal. Following suggestions on the gmane linux.ubuntu.kernel.devel.general group, I've already tried to add acpi_osi=!Windows 2009 boot argument but it does not solve the problem in 2.6.32 nor 2.6.34. either. ** Tags removed: needs-upstream-testing ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585258 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

Hi Lucio, If you could also please test the latest upstream kernel available that would be great. It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please remove the 'needs-upstream-testing' tag. This can be done by clicking on the yellow pencil icon next to the tag located at the bottom of the bug description and deleting the 'needs-upstream-testing' text. Please let us know your results.
