Recent Ubuntu updates made the problem appear also in latest 9.10 kernel, namely linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic. However with that kernel (and only that), if I press Fn+F8 during boot before gdm starts, the external vga gets the output, but after gdm has started Fn+F8 stops working and does nothing.
Since latest updates did not touch linux-image-2.6.31-21-generic, but only other packages, I suspect this problem could be related to other packages also/only, but I don't know how to check if it's such a case. It seems there were no udev nor acpi updates recently, and I don't know what other package could influence the support of Fn+whatever. Any help appreciated. -- switching to external VGA monitor does not work anymore on dell precision M4400 and Ubuntu 10.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/585258 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
