Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) reached end-of-standard-support on April 29, 2021. I'm setting the status of this bug to 'Incomplete' as it's not seen any activity for some time. If this is still an issue when using a currently maintained release of Ubuntu then please let us know which one(s) otherwise this bug report can be left to expire in approximately 60 days time. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1685775 Title: Can't use VGA Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Hi, when i connect an external screen, throught VGA , my laptop (DELL Latitude E6410 ) doesn't detect it. typing xrandr -q in terminal give me : xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default Screen 0: minimum 1280 x 800, current 1280 x 800, maximum 1280 x 800 default connected primary 1280x800+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1280x800 76.00* thanks for your help ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 Package: xorg 1:7.7+13ubuntu3 Uname: Linux 4.9.0-040900-generic x86_64 .tmp.unity_support_test.1: ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5 Architecture: amd64 CompizPlugins: No value set for `/apps/compiz-1/general/screen0/options/active_plugins' CompositorRunning: compiz CompositorUnredirectDriverBlacklist: '(nouveau|Intel).*Mesa 8.0' CompositorUnredirectFSW: true CurrentDesktop: Unity Date: Mon Apr 24 12:07:49 2017 DistUpgraded: Fresh install DistroCodename: xenial DistroVariant: ubuntu DkmsStatus: i915-4.6.3-4.4.0, 1, 4.4.0-71-generic, x86_64: installed i915-4.6.3-4.4.0, 1, 4.4.0-72-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 5.0.36, 4.4.0-72-generic, x86_64: installed virtualbox, 5.0.36, 4.9.0-040900-generic, x86_64: installed ExtraDebuggingInterest: Yes, including running git bisection searches GraphicsCard: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller [8086:0046] (rev 02) (prog-if 00 [VGA controller]) Subsystem: Dell Latitude E6410 [1028:040a] InstallationDate: Installed on 2016-06-26 (302 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160420.1) MachineType: Dell Inc.
