I have a T61 with the Nvidia Quadro NVS 140m video card, advanced
minidock, and a Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP. I am running Ubuntu 8.04.
When undocked I run the resolution at 1680x1050. At work, I have the
dock setup with the Dell LCD hooked up via DVI. I only use the LCD
while docked, not the built in LCD. When I startup my laptop while
docked it show the boot process and then goes blank when gdm starts. I
can login in blind, then undock and enable the Dell LCD as a clone and
scale the desktop to its full resolution of 1920x1200, and then redock
and the LCD will then display the desktop with the correct resolution.
I would like to be able to start up my machine while docked and have it
enable the LCD with the correct resolution by default. I would also
like to be able to undock and have it convert down to the lower
resolution of the built in display. Also, I almost never start my
machine undocked and then dock it later, however, I do occasionally
undock and then redock.
Can anyone help me with this or point me in the right direction?
Thanks in advance.
