Thread: External Monitor Help Please

ok, bought 31.5" hdtv , have connected laptop monitor. laptop monitor cracked , pretty useless able keep turned off , stick new monitor. far, have managed accomplish of this, 1 problem, need go through long process every login set again. i'm hoping can me simplify , have done automatically while ubuntu booting or right after login.

process:

code:

$ cvt 1366 768 60  # 1368x768 59.88 hz (cvt) hsync: 47.79 khz; pclk: 85.25 mhz  modeline "1368x768_60.00"   85.25  1368 1440 1576 1784  768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync

code:

$ xrandr --newmode "1368x768_60.00"   85.25  1368 1440 1576 1784  768 771 781 798 -hsync +vsync

code:

$ xrandr --addmode "hdmi1" "1368x768_60.00

"

code:

$ xrandr --output hdmi1 --mode 1368x768_60.00

i must go "monitors" , switch laptop monitor off, , pretty near perfect.

now, far have read far, i'm imagining must go xorg.conf , change stuff there, i'm not sure how go it.

current xorg.conf:

code:

section "serverlayout"  	identifier     "x.org configured"  	screen      0  "screen0" 0 0  	inputdevice    "mouse0" "corepointer"  	inputdevice    "keyboard0" "corekeyboard"  endsection    section "files"  	modulepath   "/usr/lib/xorg/modules"  	fontpath     "/usr/share/fonts/x11/misc"  	fontpath     "/usr/share/fonts/x11/cyrillic"  	fontpath     "/usr/share/fonts/x11/100dpi/:unscaled"  	fontpath     "/usr/share/fonts/x11/75dpi/:unscaled"  	fontpath     "/usr/share/fonts/x11/type1"  	fontpath     "/usr/share/fonts/x11/100dpi"  	fontpath     "/usr/share/fonts/x11/75dpi"  	fontpath     "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/truetype"  	fontpath     "built-ins"  endsection    section "module"  	load  "dri"  	load  "record"  	load  "dbe"  	load  "extmod"  	load  "glx"  	load  "dri2"  endsection    section "inputdevice"  	identifier  "keyboard0"  	driver      "kbd"  endsection    section "inputdevice"  	identifier  "mouse0"  	driver      "mouse"  	option	    "protocol" "auto"  	option	    "device" "/dev/input/mice"  	option	    "zaxismapping" "4 5 6 7"  endsection    section "monitor"  	identifier   "monitor0"  	vendorname   "monitor vendor"  	modelname    "monitor model"  endsection    section "device"          ### available driver options are:-          ### values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "true"/"false",          ### <string>: "string", <freq>: "<f> hz/khz/mhz"          ### [arg]: arg optional          #option     "noaccel"            	# [<bool>]          #option     "swcursor"           	# [<bool>]          #option     "colorkey"           	# <i>          #option     "cachelines"         	# <i>          #option     "dac6bit"            	# [<bool>]          #option     "dri"                	# [<bool>]          #option     "noddc"              	# [<bool>]          #option     "showcache"          	# [<bool>]          #option     "xvmcsurfaces"       	# <i>          #option     "pageflip"           	# [<bool>]  	identifier  "card0"  	driver      "intel"  	vendorname  "intel corporation"  	boardname   "mobile gm965/gl960 integrated graphics controller"  	busid       "pci:0:2:0"  endsection    section "screen"  	identifier "screen0"  	device     "card0"  	monitor    "monitor0"  	subsection "display"  		viewport   0 0  		depth     1  	endsubsection  	subsection "display"  		viewport   0 0  		depth     4  	endsubsection  	subsection "display"  		viewport   0 0  		depth     8  	endsubsection  	subsection "display"  		viewport   0 0  		depth     15  	endsubsection  	subsection "display"  		viewport   0 0  		depth     16  	endsubsection  	subsection "display"  		viewport   0 0  		depth     24  	endsubsection  endsection
