http://askubuntu.com – currently, I have a lubuntu laptop with nvidia driver installed. I'm trying to extend my display, but (after a couple of reboots) all I can see on the other display is a big X whenever I move my cursor to that display. below is my xorg.conf file: # nvidia-xconfig: X configuration file generated by nvidia-xconfig # nvidia-xconfig: version 295.49 (buildmeister@swio-display-x86-rhel47-07.nvidia.com) Tue May 1 00:54:24 PDT 2012 # nvidia-settings: X configuration file generated by nvidia-settings # nvidia-settings: version 280.13 (buildd@allspice) Thu Aug 11 20:54:45 UTC 2011 Section "S (HowTos)

Hi, I am using Ubuntu 12.10 with GNOME 3.6. My system is Compaq Presario CQ3340IX which has an onboard graphics memory - Intel GMA x4500. But my ubuntu is not detecting it. In my System Settings->Details my graphics is shown as blank. Doesn't that mean my onboard graphics is not detected???
