Title:
Displays utility doesn't offer to use nvidia-settings with proprietary
drivers installed?
Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Oneiric:
New
Bug description:
On this system, the proprietary nvidia drivers are required for some
features (like suspend/resume) to work correctly. On previous Ubuntu
versions, opening the "Monitors" control panel detected the
proprietary drivers and offered to use nvidia-settings instead of
Displays. This is required, for instance, to be able to properly
detect screens and enable the VGA, DisplayPort and HDMI video outputs
which are completely ignored by g-c-c's Displays applet.
However on 11.10, Displays doesn't have this behavior, so the user is
left to figure out why DIsplays is so limited and unable to
detect/enable external screens, and eventually to learn to use nvidia-
settings from a command prompt. This is quite confusing for novice
users.
I'll attach some files with hardware information, this machine is
primarily used for testing so please don't hesitate to let me know if
I can provide more detailed info or run any necessary tests.
