Public bug reported: Binary package hint: nvidia-glx
When I update using the restricted manager the NVIDIA driver that it installs defaults to the external monitor rather than the laptop's main screen. This means that the first boot up after installing shows a blank screen until I CTRL ALT F2 and change the xorg.conf file manually. --------------Doesn't Work (Driver Default)---------------------------------- Section "Monitor" Identifier "Generic Monitor" Option "DPMS" Horizsync 30-70 Vertrefresh 50-160 EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Default Screen" Device "Generic Video Card" Monitor "Generic Monitor" Defaultdepth 24 EndSection ---------------Does work (excerpt from an old nvidia config file)--------- Section "Monitor" # HorizSync source: xconfig, VertRefresh source: xconfig Identifier "Monitor0" VendorName "Unknown" ModelName "CRT-0" HorizSync 31.0 - 83.0 VertRefresh 56.0 - 75.0 Option "DPMS" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Screen0" Device "Videocard0" Monitor "Monitor0" DefaultDepth 24 Option "TwinView" "1" Option "metamodes" "CRT: 1400x1050 +0+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +0+0; CRT: 1024x768 +0+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +1024+0; CRT: 800x600 +0+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +800+0; CRT: 640x480 +0+0, DFP: nvidia-auto-select +640+0" SubSection "Display" Depth 24 Modes "1400x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubSection EndSection --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I'll attach the full working xorg.conf file. ** Affects: linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- Restricted NVDIA driver defaults output to external monitor rather than laptop screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/154822 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
