Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xrandr
When I plug in a VGA cable to my EEE PC (1000HA - dual boot windows xp, ubuntu netbook remix) I have problems as outlined below. I've tried it on two monitors, one with partial success: 1. plugged in to 1680x1050 flatscreen monitor. Display appears with a resolution of 800x600. Changing the resolution through the monitor settings application results in both laptop and external screen flickering at about 2-3Hz and being unable to be read. I tried changing the resolution with xrandr (xrandr --output VGA1 --auto) which overlaid the laptop screen on to the external monitor. Trying to separate them (xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS1 caused the same appearance as above. 2. VGA connection to (I think 800x600) projector. Both screen flicker as above at about 2-3Hz. As I was about to give a presentation I didn't have time to play around with it, but switched to my back up plan (USB on windows!). Let me know if any logs/outputs would be useful.
