One apparently regression in 3.2.0-16.25 (maybe unconnected to this change?) is that fn-f7 does not seem to have any effect. It was working on the previous kernel I tried, both the Ubuntu ones and my own builds.
Turning on the external screen with xrandr does work: xrandr --output DP1 --mode 2560x1600 --set audio off --above LVDS1 Using the displays control panel, the first time I tried, the monitor showed an error about the signal being wrong. I've just tried again and it has worked. So, I'm not sure. Also, after using the monitors control panel, Fn-F7 is working again. (So, perhaps the bug is in userspace?) I'll see if I can get a better description of what the problem is. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745112 Title: [arrandale] desktop is messed up with external monitors (x86_64) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/745112/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
