[Bug 541566] Re: [Lucid] Exteral monitor never detected on a Dell Studio 15

[Bryce Harrington]

Well, the X side definitely sees your monitor.  Looks like it's a BenQ
FP91G; good choice!  ;-)

Looks like your system is using kernel modesetting.  You didn't mention it but I assume this is a regression from Karmic (where we were not using KMS by default?)  Probably if you boot with radeon.modeset=0 to switch off KMS it'll behave as it did in Karmic.
I'll go ahead and reforward it to the kernel team.

(Btw, in general now with Kernel mode-setting any bug relating to
resolution, output switching, and so on are now kernel bugs.)

** Package changed: xserver-xorg-video-ati (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => New
