Bug Description
Laptop: HP Pavilion dv2699ee
Docking station: Targus ExpressCard Notebook Docking Station ACP60EU
Release: Ubuntu 8.10 32 bit with all updates applied, kernel 2.6.27-11-generic
Nvidia driver: 177.82
Steps to reproduce:
1) Plug in external monitor to the ExpressCard VGA output.
2) Plug in the docking station to laptop via the ExpressCard port.
3) Turn on laptop.
Expected output:
The external monitor connected to the docking station should be recognized and able to configure the output via nvidia-settings.
Actual output:
Video output does not work through the Targus ExpressCard docking station. In nvidia-settings and the Gnome screen resolution applet, the external monitor is not shown. (It is shown when connected directly to the VGA output on the laptop rather than the docking station). Note that the docking station itself seems to be recognized since mouse and keyboard work when plugged in to the USB ports on the docking station.
Can you provide more information about the docking station ? /wiki.ubuntu. com/KernelTeamB ugPolicies and give results of the 4 commands of "Minimal information".
