It generally works great, and the latest KDE releases make things really slick, with one exception...<br><br>I use it in dual monitor mode regularly with the LCD screen and a DVI screen; but I need to use the VGA port for some presentations now, but...<br><br>If I plug a monitor into the VGA port, it announces itself via EDID, is picked up, and KDE's Quick Display manager finds it and works. However, I have a projector that doesn't seem announce itself via EDID on its VGA (it's old - Mitsubishi XL1U); so KDE Quick Display manager won't add the VGA-1 as an option to enable. Xorg doesn't see it, so no
surprise KDE doesn't either.<br><br>I'm using the nouveau driver as Kubuntu uses it out of the box, which uses KMS as far as I can tell. Is there any way to force the driver to enable the VGA so I can use the projector with this laptop?<br><div id="yiv8202745230yui_3_7_2_27_1370019245035_39"><br>DDCcontrol seems to be out of date, no longer supported, and doesn't list 'nouveau' driver at all. And the nv50 (according to get-edid) doesn't support DDC1 or DDC2.<br><br>Still, there ought to be a way to force the output on, no?<br><br>TIA,<br><br>Ben<br id="yiv8202745230yui_3_7_2_27_1370019245035_219"></div><div style="color:rgb(0, 0, 0);font-size:16px;font-family:times new roman, new york, times, serif;background-color:transparent;font-style:normal;" id="yiv8202745230yui_3_7_2_27_1370019245035_216"><br id="yiv8202745230yui_3_7_2_27_1370019245035_215"></div></div></div></div></div></body></html>
