Does ubuntu, with 11.10, for any of these models, detect external displays automatically? Is this a feature that is just not in the current ubuntu, or something particular to 10.10 and my Dell?
- kisielk 15y agoIt seems to automatically detect an external display on my HP Mini as of 11.04 (maybe sooner, didn't try). I can even switch between the displays using the dedicated key on the keyboard.
- sp332 15y agoIt has "support" for this, unfortunately support varies depending on your driver. e.g. Nvidia Quadro: http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/31614/p2/ http://www.brighthub.com/computing/linux/articles/31614/p2/ and some Radeons: http://niccolofavari.com/ubuntu-10.04-lucid-issues-with-external-monitor-and-ati-radeon-card http://niccolofavari.com/ubuntu-10.04-lucid-issues-with-exte... and so on.
