Public bug reported: External display doesn't work with Lubuntu LiveCD 11.10
Dell D610 laptop lshw: Mobile 915GM/GMS/910GML Express Graphics Controller I do get the intial choice screen for Language & Try/Install, I get the 'Lubutu .....' loading screen, then a brief bit of CLI, but not the final desktop. Fn-F8 to switch between laptop screen and external display has no effect. That does work on the initial screens before desktop. That also works on Ubuntu LiveCD 11.10. I'm afraid this is as far as I can go with it. The backlight doesn't work on this laptop, so I'm jammed till the next Lubuntu. With the backlight out you can see a faint ghost of display on the laptop, so I can confirm the desktop does load. The only problem is external display does not work. ** Affects: apport (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/886431 Title: External display doesn't work with Lubuntu LiveCD 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apport/+bug/886431/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
