Title:
  emgd-xorg-conf needs fresh build

Status in Intel® Embedded Media and Graphics Driver (Intel® EMGD):
  New

Bug description:
  When I run the emgd-xorg-conf script from the emgd-1.8 ppa it fails
  and does not make the xorg.conf file it is supposed to make. The issue
  is that there are extra [ ]s around the screen resolution entry for
  the dell 1210 causing the script to fail when you run it.  I manually
  edited mine and it runs fine.  This bug has already been fixed in the
  src with this commit: 28
  revid:thopiekar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx-20111020172044-mphaiy6g430b6oxy
  however, the emgd-xorg-conf in emgd-1.8 has not been rebuilt since the
  patch was applied.  It is fixed in emgd110.

  I am stuck here in Natty as when I tried oneiric it was just to
  unstable.  Hopefully in a few months I will be able to jump to precise
  and psb_gfx...  This is not a big deal for me as I already fixed and
  ran it, but I would hope we could spare someone else the trouble.

  If it does not get fixed and someone finds this report and needs to
  know what to do, here is the workaround.

  * in a terminal run "cp /bin/emgd-xorg-conf ~/emgd-xorg.conf.orig" to make a backup 
  * edit it with "sudo nano /bin/emgd-xorg.conf" or whichever editor flavor you prefer.  
  * Go to line 127 where you should find "[["1280x800", "24"]]" (Line 126 should be the one for the Dell 1210)
  * Delete one set of the brackets so it is like this  "["1280x800", "24"]" 
  * Save the change and then you should able to run the "sudo emgd-xorg-conf" without errors.
  * To check if it really worked, make sure you now have your configuration in /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-emgd.conf where you will find the Dell screen set up in lines 31 and 32.
