News: it works now. The issue described above was just after installing 8.04. After having the problem above, I enabled the nvidia restricted driver. Then when you asked about driver and log, I disabled the restricted driver again and tried this, and now it just worked.
Still some annoyances: 1. I don't get both external and internal at the same time - only external OR internal. 2. Cloned works, BUT only at a lower resolution - internal is 1680x1050 and external is 1280x1024, but cloned get only 1024x768 at most. Why not scale or crop the internal so that I can look at my screen when demonstrating something on the wall. Anyway, I can use the default driver and a projector now. -- screen resolution dialog couldn't enable external display https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/223798 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
