switching to external screen/projector on laptop

[hp3]

Using Ubuntu 7.10 (all updates installed).

When switching to external monitor or projector, the screen is not displayed correctly.
This only happens if both laptop display, and the external monitor/projector is active at the
same time. If I only view the external output everything is ok.
But when both are active, the image displayed is "to large" for the projector/external monitor
to display, and it is a little bent.

I use HP NC6400, Intel chipset.
serial number : HUB6420CV
Partnr EH422AV If I am asked if I still have the problem in Hardy,
Yes and now, because now, the the resolution on my laptop also changes so I am unable to use my laptop screen.
it gets very lange and all windows are to big and so on. But I am not using Linux anymore on my laptop.
Sorry back to Windows because no one fixed it. I will try Linux on my laptop in November, but I guess it is the same
I use my laptop for presentations and I am unable to do it without looking at my screen.

So the answer is YES I HAVE THE PROBLEM.

Yes,

Hi hfasteng,

Please attach the output of `lspci -vvnn`, and attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log file from after reproducing this issue. If you've made any customizations to your /etc/X11/xorg.conf please attach that as well.
