Someone who is used to compiling stuff etc. should also just take the latest GIT code and test that. Report if it fixes anything here, and report if the situation remains the same with regards to how it works with current Ubuntu development branch driver which hasn't been updated since edgy. Please also attach both "before" Xorg.0.log and "after" Xorg.0.log, unless you check that they are exactly same.
Then someone should definitely apply the patch in the upstream bug 5473 attached there already in November (but untestable by the developer since he hasn't got a X700 laptop), and give feedback there if there's any difference between current GIT version and the patched version. While doing this, remember to use prefix=/usr so that you are actually overwriting the feisty-provided drivers when installing etc. :) -- [x700] fails to infer lvds for primary connector on acer ferrari 4005 | card detected, but driver fails to use right output port https://launchpad.net/bugs/22985 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
