Ubuntu 9.04 and 8.10 External VGA

[djsb]

On the last ubuntu releases, i can't get my laptop to correctly connect to external VGA device.

The VGA device is a LG 32" LCD (32LC41).
The laptop is a fujitsu siemens si 1520i with an intel video card.

The display preferences utility from ubuntu correctly identified the connected monitors but:
 a) there's no image on the connected LCD
 b) the resolution of the laptop own display gets missed

Best regards

To reproduce, just connect the VGA cable from the LCD to the fujitsu
siemens si 15020 laptop. Two things happen:
     - there's no image on the 32" lcd
     - the resolution on the laptop ajustes to a wrong resolution

This only happens with this 32" LCD.

OK, I'm assigning this to xorg.

For future reference, package assignment is important for ensuring that it gets looked at by the proper developers. You can learn more about finding the right package at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/FindRightPackage.

When reporting bugs in the future please use apport, either via the appropriate application's "Help -> Report a Problem" menu or using 'ubuntu-bug' and the name of the package affected. You can learn more about this functionality at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ReportingBugs.
