This is I what I did with the HP laptop's vga port and my Old Samsung CRT Monitor (http://reviews.cnet.com/crt-monitors/samsung-syncmaster- 591s-crt/4507-3175_7-31312643.html) following the directions on this video as an example for me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9tHruGnmGjY). So I had a LED display and a CRT display.
1. Connected CRT VGA port to laptop VGA port. Turned on laptop and CRT display. 2. Grub Menu → Ubuntu. That is, booting Ubuntu as normal mode with this Boot options: linux /vmlinuz-3.8.0-16-generic root= ..... ro quiet splash -- vga=792 $vt_handoff 3. A graphical prompt login window appears on both LED and CRT displays. 4. Logged on. LED display turns off. CRT display shows Ubuntu graphical desktop. 5. On my HP laptop I pressed the F4 key to load the Display settings window with these options: ■ Laptop □ Samsung 14" □ Both displays cloned 6. Selected 'Both displays cloned': □ Laptop □ Samsung 14" ■ Both displays cloned. And both LED and CRT diplays show the Ubuntu desktop. 8. Executed $ dmesg > file_on_usb_drive 9. Copied /var/log/Xorg.0.log to folder_on_usb_drive. 10. Copied /etc/default/grub to folder_on_usb_drive. 11. Searched on dmesg.log file for "nomodeset" text string but no matches were found. That'all. ** Attachment added: "logs.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1171192/+attachment/3651639/+files/logs.zip -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1171192 Title: Ubuntu 13.04 Beta 2- Intel HD Graphics 3000 - No screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/1171192/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
