Running Kubuntu 10.04 Lucid Lynx LTS -with KDE 4.4.2
I am unable to run dual monitors. I have a Dell Latitude D830 Laptop...docking station with both DVI and standard VGA connectors. Both monitors work individually, but when both plugged in...notta. The DVI monitor takes primary role, and the VGA just sits idle and goes to a black screen.
- Under the display settings, it recognizes that the VGA monitor is present, but shows its in a disabled state. I have tried to enable it by selecting the screen resolution settings and clicking apply / ok. Nothing happens. When closing out the display settings and reopening, it continues to show disabled.
- On the multiple monitors tab, it states "This module is only for configuring systems with a single desktop across multiple monitors. You do not appear to have this configuration.
- Have tried to manually do this through the command line and this does not work either. I used the following for that...
sudo xrandr --auto --output VGA1 --mode 1366x768 --right-of DVI1
After entering this command I get the following error. xrandr: cannot find crtc for output VGA1
- Tried to shut it off through command line just to see if I would see any response from the monitor (because when the laptop is powered off, it realizes the signal is lost)
sudo xrandr --output VGA1 --off
No response, and I do NOT get the same error as above.
lspci output
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 0c)
I have a couple of coworkers who run the same setup that work just fine. I have googled for a resolution to no avail, please help!
