    Lenovo t60 definition for monitor while docked

    Hi all,

    I have installed Hardy 8.04 Beta on my Lenovo T60.
    my graphic card is radeon x1400.

    I have installed the restricted fglrx and while undocked from my docking station the machine works perfect along with Compiz and the lot (on the laptop screen).

    I have changed my xorg.conf as instructed in the thinkpad wiki to support the x1400 chip (see below the file).

    The only problem I am experiencing is that when I dock my laptop the screen resolution I get is wrong and I cannot change it. Compiz also does not work in that mode.

    Could anyone explain to me how it would be possible to define my xorg.conf file (or others) so that Kubuntu will sense that I am docked and will change the resolution parametrs for the screen + let me use Compiz as well?

    Thanks in advance, Itamar.

    Here is xorg.conf:

    Code:
    # xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
    #
    # This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using
    # values from the debconf database.
    #
    # Edit this file with caution, and see the xorg.conf manual page.
    # (Type "man xorg.conf" at the shell prompt.)
    #
    # This file is automatically updated on xserver-xorg package upgrades *only*
    # if it has not been modified since the last upgrade of the xserver-xorg
    # package.
    #
    # If you have edited this file but would like it to be automatically updated
    # again, run the following command:
    #  sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg
