Since there are already bug reports for the other issues let's focus this one specifically on why the projector/laptop video modes are not getting detected automatically when running xrandr --auto. Regarding the wish for a GUI xrandr interface, I'm already focusing on working on that.
cay, can you please attach the output of lspci -vvnn, and then run the following tests: 1. Boot laptop by itself, no projector or monitor connected. Capture and upload /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of `xrandr` 2. With laptop booted, now plug in the projector. Capture and upload /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of `xrandr` 3. Run `xrandr --auto`. Capture and upload the output of `xrandr`. 4. Now reboot the laptop, leaving the projector attached. When it comes up, capture and upload /var/log/Xorg.0.log and the output of `xrandr` 5. Run the command `xrandr --output VGA --mode 1024x768 --output LVDS --mode 1024x768 --auto`. Capture and upload the output of `xrandr` ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- Attaching or detaching external monitor causes untold grief https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/121252 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
