I also have some stange problems with the intel driver and external output.
It all started the other day when I tried to make GDM show in a higher resolution. I tried doing "xrandr ---output LDMS --auto --output TDMS-1 --auto" in the end of /etc/gdm/Init/Default. This seemed to work fine, restarted, resolution was correct on both monitors, pulled out the external screen, restarted, everything seemed to work fine. Then came the choke - putting back the external screen and restarting resulted in picture on the laptop screen only. Since then I revoked the oneliner and tested again, but the problems now seem to be permanent, I can't get display on my external monitor back. I ran xrandr and only got Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 1280 VGA disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) LVDS connected 1280x800+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 261mm x 163mm 1280x800 59.9*+ 60.0 1280x768 60.0 1024x768 60.0 800x600 60.3 640x480 59.9 TV disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) That is, no TDMS-1 detected at all! I'm really at a blank here.... Oh by the way, If you think this i separate bug please feel free to open a new one. -- [gutsy,hardy] Second display not enabled with "intel" video driver https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/137234 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
