Have you tried going to

System->Preferences->Preferred Applications

And set your multimedia player there?

Yes, update-notifier is running.

avtolle: Is the "update manger" daemon the same as the "update notifier"? What is the actual daemon name so I can check with ps?

In the past, Update Manager would automatically know if there were updates that needed to be installed. But since I upgraded to Intrepid, I have to manually tell it to do so.

Go to System->Preferences->Screensaver

In the list of available screen savers should be "F-Spot photos" which should do what you are looking for.

Yes, we have to wait, but I am having the problem now. Here are the results of the above requested commands.

I have noticed that if I leave Firefox (3.0.4) running all the time it consumes more and more of my system resources.

When I look at the output of "top" in a terminal, the "%wa" number is in the...

I asked for the xrandr output because I have had similar problems in the past. Sorry, it didn't give me any new ideas.

Do you happen to have compiz effects enabled (System -> Preferences ->...

Interesting how everyone wants to get better resolution and folks are eager to help. But try to go the other way and nothing.

I have another idea to see what is going on with your graphics. Please post the output of


xrandr -q

There are some fairly complex answers here. I do it more simply. Of course, if you need a different xorg.conf, then you probably need to use some of the above solutions.

For me, I switch monitors...

I can get some output through the S-video port to my TV with the following:


xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600

But my TV is only 640x480.

How can I make my output fit my TV?

Thanks.

I don't your particular setup, but you could try to shut off your laptop monitor by entering this command



xrandr --output LVDS --off


If it works, your laptop display will turn off and...

That is exactly the info you need. You are using an Intel GM965/GL960 Intergrated graphics card.

You could google something like "external monitor Intel GM965" and you will get a bunch of answers....

The info you posted is insufficient for you to get any help.

Have you tried xrandr?

I have all the updates for Hardy installed and I am still stuck using the vesa driver and not the ATI driver.

It is workable, but not great.

You don't say, but I bet both of you are using the OS ATI driver for your video cards. And I would venture you have older cards as well.

I have already opened a bug for this problem. I have not...

Thanks for the reply, but the instructions listed didn't do anything. I am beginning to wonder if it is the "new" ATI driver. Does anyone know if it is possible to go back to the previous version of...

I have an HP laptop with the ati igp 340M video card.

Under Gutsy, I could use xrandr to turn off the LVDS and then xorg would fill in the entire display on my external monitor. Since upgrading to...

Bump.

I have been experimenting with xorg.conf settings and xrandr settings and I still have no external monitor.

Sometimes I feel like Pink Floyd, "Is There Anybody Out There?"

Does anyone understand how to configure the new X? Everywhere I have read says to leave xorg.conf at the minimal settings that come from dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg. Is there any way to...
