linux-howto

http://ubuntuforums.org – I have a setup that consists of a laptop that sits on a desk and then is connected to a 2nd AOC 22' monitor. My monitors were both working fine until one day I decided to bring my laptop over to a friends house for a day. I unplugged my laptop from my second monitor. Then I brung my laptop over to my friends house for one day. I didn't really do much on it except browse the web for awhile like use facebook.. Then I came back and plugged everything back in like usb, monitor , etc. And now my 2nd monitor isn't working correctly. As in, it gives me an incorrect resolution on both windows and linu (Hardware)

Hi, Apologies if this is somehow covered elsewhere. I've done a good bit of searching to no avail.

I'm running 2 monitors from a fresh install of F17 on my Dell Latitude D410. Monitor 1: the laptop's LCD screen - detected, all fine and dandy. Monitor 2: an external flatscreen monitor.

I'd like to disable my laptop monitor at startup (when an external monitor is connected), but make it available in X.By default, my boot looks like :* Grub2 displays only on my external monitor (at maximum resolution)* Kernel displays only on my external monitor (maximum resolution)* udev (I think) is started and turns on my laptop screen.

I installed ubuntu 12.04 on my old laptop with SiS671 video card and its working fine with 1280x800 screen resolution.

[ubuntu] Remove Laptop Monitor 1 year 16 weeks ago

I just bought an Intel Atom D410PT motherboard, and installed it into a mini-ITX case. So far, everything works as expected, but the resolution is lower than it should be.

In Displays, I found that it detects two monitors, one Laptop monitor and the desktop one that I plugged into a the machine.

Hi all.

I've recently begun using Fedora 17 on my new laptop, however I've almost immediately hit problems with a multi-monitor setup. I have searched the forum for a solution, but I haven't been able to find anything as yet, so I'm hoping someone could help me out.

Currently I can use the laptop internal monitor, and a second monitor connected via the VGA port perfectly fine.

Multi Monitor Setup 1 year 10 weeks ago

I'm having some problems with a multi monitor setup in Ubuntu:

The launcher will appear on the laptop monitor if the external monitor isn't plugged in on startup. If the external monitor is plugged in on startup it will appear on that monitor.

I'd like to be able to have one screen on my laptop with a window, and the monitor I have attached having another (e.g. a spread sheet or another web page)

when I set up the monitor it defaulted to what I want, when I restarted and shut down, it went back to showing the same on monitor and laptop

I am using MSI VR440 laptop http://www.msi.com/product/nb/VR440.html#?div=Specification . The laptop uses SIS Graphics card and has the resolution of 1280x800.

When I connect a desktop LCD monitor Samsung with the resolution of 1366x768, the desktop monitor displays the same resolution as that of the laptop, showing the copy of the laptop's monitor and making it distorted.

I have reinstalled Ubuntu 12.04 to make a new attempt in getting the dual monitor working with my nvidia optimus. I already installed bumblebee. But still it isn't working as it should. The monitor from the laptop has not the right configuration and neither has the external Monitor (which runs with VGA). And if I try to change the resolution I get black screens and can't do anything against it.
