Have you pressed the test button? Could you please describe the situation in which this error occures in detail? What have you done before? What was your intention?

Could you please attach the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Cheers,

Sebastian

Please find xorg.conf attached.

The problem occurred while setting up display on a projector, I am trying to
use the laptop for lecturing. I have another lecture tomorrow so will try to
set things up again. I will report back on what I find. Obviously I can only
spend 5/10 minutes trying to get things up and running.
Cheers,
Paul

...now with a reset i get my externa display to show. but its kinda of a duplicate of the lcd... and since the external is a wide screen it extends beyond the internal screen.

so the internal display has 1024x768 but i can move the mouse out pass the right and it disaperes on the internal display while on the external display natively extends out to 1366x768 so its all one screen. but in that one screen the dock bars wont go the full 1366, with movie player... movies are blacked out on the external but at the same time playing pictures on the internal lcd.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.
