Hello,
I'm using Dell Latitude X300, lscpi shows:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
I have the following drivers installed:
xserver-xorg-video-i810
xserver-xorg-video-intel
I just updated Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, and I'm having a problem:
In 8.04 I used this xorg.conf:
# xorg.conf (xorg X Window System server configuration file)
#
# This file was generated by failsafeDexconf, using
# values from the debconf database and some overrides to use vesa mode.
#
# You should use dexconf or another such tool for creating a "real" xorg.conf
# For example:
# sudo dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

(as you can see - the i810 driver is used)
The Fn+F8 (CRT/LCD switch) worked fine (on 8.04) - I used to connect monitor to my laptop, and switch the LCD to CRT.
After updating Ubuntu to 8.10 something with X was wrong, and I ordered Ubuntu to fix it. New xorg looks like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 2048 768
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
I get this xorg also by using the tool System>Preferences>Resolution.
(I remember when it came out and replaced the old one - when I tried to use it it broke my xorg.conf too, so I just left the old one)
With a new xorg.conf X are working, but I can't switch between CRT and LCD - the video is cloned on both, and Fn+F8 just can't do anything. I installed i810switch - it works (for example: i810switch lcd off), but it still don't solves my problem. (I have also another - messed up look of logging in screen on CRT - flattened and cut in half, but I'm hoping it'll be gone after solving this one)
I understand that xserver-xorg-intel contains new version of xserver-xorg-i810?
- I can add to the Section "Device" line: Driver "intel", and it's still the same situation, when I tried to add Driver "i810" error appears when loading X-server. (no devices found)
- If I change Driver "i810" to Driver "intel" in old xorg.conf - it's the same situation as with the new xorg.conf, so it seems to be a problem with CRT/LCD switch (Fn+F8) in new "intel" driver. I would be happy to change it to "i810" but the error appears.
Xorg.0.log: http://phpfi.com/372236
Why "i810" isn't working on Ubuntu 8.10? I read a lot of bug reports, and running i810 should solve my problem. Or how can I repair the CRT/LCD switch in the "intel" driver? It's possible that I'm wrong somewhere - I'm not an expert in Ubunutu. What would you do?
Thank you for your replies in advance. :) I have so much trouble with xorg.conf since I'm using Linux. It's just making me angry. :( Any help will be appreciated.
------ FOUND A WORKAROUND ------
edit:
I use my old xorg.conf, but with Driver "intel" instead "i810".
i810switch is too simple, and not working well (for example mplayer).
I added these lines to ~/.bashrc (creating aliases):
alias both='xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --auto'
alias lcd='xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --off'
alias monitor='xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA --auto'
And created new bash script:
if xrandr -q | grep "VGA connected"
then
xrandr --output LVDS --off
fi
source: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/145501
Gave it ability to run (chmod), and added it to System>Preferences>Sessions
Now I can use both, lcd, monitor commands, and my laptop LCD is turning off, when I'm logging in, and if a monitor is plugged.
I'm using Dell Latitude X300, lscpi shows:
00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
00:02.1 Display controller: Intel Corporation 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device (rev 02)
I have the following drivers installed:
xserver-xorg-video-i810
xserver-xorg-video-intel
I just updated Ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10, and I'm having a problem:
In 8.04 I used this xorg.conf:

(as you can see - the i810 driver is used)
The Fn+F8 (CRT/LCD switch) worked fine (on 8.04) - I used to connect monitor to my laptop, and switch the LCD to CRT.
After updating Ubuntu to 8.10 something with X was wrong, and I ordered Ubuntu to fix it. New xorg looks like this:
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 2048 768
EndSubSection
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
I get this xorg also by using the tool System>Preferences>Resolution.
(I remember when it came out and replaced the old one - when I tried to use it it broke my xorg.conf too, so I just left the old one)
With a new xorg.conf X are working, but I can't switch between CRT and LCD - the video is cloned on both, and Fn+F8 just can't do anything. I installed i810switch - it works (for example: i810switch lcd off), but it still don't solves my problem. (I have also another - messed up look of logging in screen on CRT - flattened and cut in half, but I'm hoping it'll be gone after solving this one)
I understand that xserver-xorg-intel contains new version of xserver-xorg-i810?
- I can add to the Section "Device" line: Driver "intel", and it's still the same situation, when I tried to add Driver "i810" error appears when loading X-server. (no devices found)
- If I change Driver "i810" to Driver "intel" in old xorg.conf - it's the same situation as with the new xorg.conf, so it seems to be a problem with CRT/LCD switch (Fn+F8) in new "intel" driver. I would be happy to change it to "i810" but the error appears.

Why "i810" isn't working on Ubuntu 8.10? I read a lot of bug reports, and running i810 should solve my problem. Or how can I repair the CRT/LCD switch in the "intel" driver? It's possible that I'm wrong somewhere - I'm not an expert in Ubunutu. What would you do?
Thank you for your replies in advance. :) I have so much trouble with xorg.conf since I'm using Linux. It's just making me angry. :( Any help will be appreciated.
------ FOUND A WORKAROUND ------
edit:
I use my old xorg.conf, but with Driver "intel" instead "i810".
i810switch is too simple, and not working well (for example mplayer).
I added these lines to ~/.bashrc (creating aliases):
alias both='xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --auto'
alias lcd='xrandr --output LVDS --auto --output VGA --off'
alias monitor='xrandr --output LVDS --off --output VGA --auto'
And created new bash script:
if xrandr -q | grep "VGA connected"
then
xrandr --output LVDS --off
fi
source: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/145501
Gave it ability to run (chmod), and added it to System>Preferences>Sessions
Now I can use both, lcd, monitor commands, and my laptop LCD is turning off, when I'm logging in, and if a monitor is plugged.
