http://ubuntuforums.org – Hi, I've recently purchased a First FSM-270YG 27 inch monitor from ebay, and have been having troubles gettint it to play nicely as a second monitor for my Toshiba portege R830-13C. When starting the laptop with the monitor plugged in (using an dvi-d to hdmi cable), the second monitor isn't used. I managed to use xrandr to get it to display a strange tiled view which seems to be 4 views at the same size as my laptops 1366x768 monitor using the following modeline: xrandr --newmode "2560x1440_60.0" 311.83 2560 2744 3024 3488 1440 1441 1444 1490 -HSync +Vsync xrandr --addmode HD (Hardware)

Hey,

So I'm running ubuntu 9.10 on my acer laptop and I want to connect an external monitor to it...which I have done and everything works fine. My question is...how would I automatically switch to the monitor's display as soon as it is plugged in. Right now I run this script:

Code: #!/bin/bash   EXTERNAL_OUTPUT="VGA1"

I am using an old CTX monitor (CRT). The computer is also old (processor is Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz) operating with VESA drivers. Ubuntu 12.04 detects this monitor as "Laptop" (even though it is a CRT)and will not give me any higher resolution than 1024x768, even though xrandr tells me that the monitor can go to 1280x960 with the graphics card installed (SIS661/741/760 PCI/AGP).

Hi all.  I was wondering if there is any way to automatically extend my display using xorg or xrandr based on whether a monitor is plugged in or not.  The use case is as follows:  I have a laptop and monitor, but I don't always have my laptop plugged into my monitor.  I want to extend the display when its plugged in, but fallback to only the laptop's screen when it&#0

Dual Monitor XFCE on a Laptop? 36 weeks 6 days ago

I've recently installed Ubuntu 11.4 on a rather elderly computer I'm forced to use, and can't get the resolution of the monitor to the one I want.

I use an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 6370 with proprietary drivers v11.8 in Ubuntu 11.10 64 bit and I can't get it to detect an external monitor through HDMI. Not with the Catalyst software nor with the "Displays" utility. I just want to set up a simple and straight forward clone display configuration to see my laptop output on my HD TV monitor.

Alpha 2 dual-monitor problems 2 years 44 weeks ago

I frequently use my laptop with a dual monitor or projector, so I hope somebody can help me here. In alpha 1, I used to be able to control a second display with xrandr very easily. In alpha 2, something goes wrong. Whenever I activate the second display, using either xrandr at the command line, or grandr, I get an almost completely unresponsive system.

tty (console): disable monitor 41 weeks 5 days ago

In .xinitrc, I use

xrandr --output LVDS1 --off

to disable the monitor of my laptop (I always use a projector at school).

But, before I log in with xinit, or when I temporary go to the console (Linux virtual terminal, for example tty2 with Ctrl+Alt+F2) -- simply put, then the monitor is on, and I'd like it to be off.

I suppose it is logical that it only works during X as xrandr is an X tool.

Hi, I'm having a little problem, and I couldn't find the answer in other post I've read.

I have an Acer Laptop with an ATI Radeon HD 3200 on-board graphic card.

The best resolution for the notebook is 1366x768, since any other looks blured.

The issue:
