Dual Monitor doesn't work if nomodeset is set

view full story
linux-howto

http://askubuntu.com – I had a problem that my laptop screen turned black as soon as the installation/Ubuntu starts. So after doing few searches I had to add nomodeset on startup which works on laptop monitor but then my second monitor stops working. Intel site says we should always remove nomodeset from boot configuration (https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel). So is there anyway I can get my both monitors working Ubuntu 12.10? Thanks (HowTos)

Things should be working as outlined in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … managementIf you think it's important, you can add a line about halt, although it's already mentioned in systemd FAQ https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … r_stays_onThere's also https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Al … o_ShutdownObviously you can use an alias e.g.alias halt='sudo sy

For AMD graphics you can either use the open source drivers (they should not require nomodeset) or the prorpietary catalyst drivers (those require nomodeset to work). The catalyst drivers offer better performance (for me that's about 60 FPS when playing minecraft compared to only about 30 with the open source drivers), but they don't work with the latest version of X.

There quite a few posts about gnome not working on the forums, from your drivers list it looks like you don't have an external graphics card?You might need to change the acceleration method for your intel driver:https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/In … ion_methodI think gnome doesn't work with one of the methods (not sure which one)Otherwise look at this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index

Did you check the wiki on "Suspend to RAM"?  It looks like there are a few tools there that should work for your needs.https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/SuspendAlso, after I switched to Awesome WM and didn't have the built in functionality to shutdown/reboot, I asked the same question and was lead to using Consolekit & dbus.

The ArchLinux Wiki has the best documentation available and with the problems you describe here, if it does not suffice, ArchLinux is likely not for you.Everyone can install ArchLinux and most can use it, but it does require more from the user than Ubuntu and such.https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/The_Arch_Wayhttps://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Beginners%27_Guide
