I burned a new disk with ubuntu 11.04 image and i managed to boot the live cd using my external monitor, I've installed and went into my monitor settings, it displays my external monitor as unknown and doesnt even detect my laptop screen.
Update: changing the driver being used in my xorg.conf to vesa allows me to boot properly and ubuntu uses my laptop screen(yet it still detects it as an unknown monitor). Installing any nvidia driver and using it breaks my system.
heres an image of the laptop when using the nvidia driver(btw i can still hear the ubuntu sound that plays when its reached the logon prompt)
