Public bug reported: Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils
Using IBM Thinkpad 600x, video is Neomagic MagicGraph 256ZX, Ubuntu 9.10 Whether I connect or not connect the external monitor, the xrandr always shows only 1 monitor. pega...@pegasus-laptop:~$ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 240, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 75.0* 60.0 70.0 800x600 75.0 60.0 72.0 56.0 640x480 75.0 60.0 73.0 320x240 75.0 73.0 60.0 They both display with the correct resolution. The display are identical. However, my intention is to do dual monitor (having 2 different displays). Since the xrandr lists only 1 monitor, I cannot set up dual monitor any further. The dual monitor worked with the preloaded Win98. It does not work with Win XP due to different architecture (documented in Lenovo). Win XP could still detect external monitor and even tell the monitor's brand and model correctly. Thus, I believe this problem is not due to hardware limitation.
