  Hello All,
  
  For a long time I have had this this sketchy SOYO LCD monitor that I have attached to my laptop.
  I just got a new laptop a Dell Latitude E6410 and tried installing Ubuntu 10.04 on it.
  I had lots of problems with the display so I decided to just use the 10.10 beta since I had used 10.04beta and it worked pretty well.
  
  Ubuntu has never detected the proper aspect ratio for this monitor so I
  have always had to do some configuration with the xorg file to get it to
  work.
  
  Using bits and pieces of previous xorg files I finally came up with this
  
  
  --------------------------Start xorg.conf-----------------------------------------------
  
  Section "Monitor"
         Identifier   "Monitor0"
         VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
         ModelName    "Monitor Model"
         Modeline "1440x900_60" 106.47 1440 1520 1672 1904 900 901 904 932 -HSync +Vsync
  EndSection
  
  Section "Screen"
         Identifier "Screen0"
         Device     "Card0"
         Monitor    "Monitor0"
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     24
                 Modes "1440x900_60.00"
         EndSubSection
  EndSection
  
  ------------------------------------end
  xorg.conf------------------------------------------------------
  
  
  This is the graphics chip: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Core Processor Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 02)
  
  
  Getting the proper set up has not been an easy task. Here is some trial
  and error that I have just run though. Prior to this trial and error I
  did run sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade
  
  
  monitor is unplugged
  I boot
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I go to system>preferences>Monitors
  I plug in monitor
  I press auto detect
  System detects monitor, with correct resolution. 
  Both laptop screen and external screens are properly enabled.
  
  I restart
  Unplug monitor around bios prompt
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I plug in monitor
  I go to system>preferences>Monitors
  System hangs
  
  I force shutdown my holding down power button
  
  I unplug monitor
  I turn on computer
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I go to system>prerferences>monitors
  I plug monitor in (just as I did in the first test)
  I press auto detect
  System hangs
  
  I force shutdown
  
  I unplug monitor
  I boot
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I restart
  
  System boots
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I go to system>preferences>monitors
  I plugin monitor
  I press autodetect
  Everything works great
  
  I restart
  I unplug monitor around bios screen
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I go to system>preferences>monitors
  I plugin monitor
  press auto detect, things work great
  
  I reboot
  
  I do NOT unplug monitor
  I get to login screen
  External monitor's on screen display flashes "out of range"
  I login
  can't access any panels
  I hit alt f2 
  I run gnome-terminal
  I run sudo shutdown -r now
  
  I spaced out and forgot to unplug monitor
  I get to login
  other monitor still out of range
  I get into gnome
  and initiate restart again
  
  I unplug during bios screen
  I log in
  I get to gnome
  I go to sytem>preferences>monitors
  I plug monitor in
  I click auto detect
  computer hangs
  
  I force shutdown by holding power key
  
  I unplug
  I boot
  I login
  I restart
  
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I go to system>preferences>monitors
  I plug in
  I press auto detect
  System hangs
  
  I force shutdown
  I unplug
  I boot
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I plug monitor in
  I go to system>preferences>monitors
  system hangs
  I force shutdown
  
  I unplug
  I boot
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I shutdown
  
  I boot
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I go to system>preferences>monitors
  I plugin
  I press auto detect
  system hangs
  I force shutdown
  
  I unplug monitor
  I boot
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I remove xorg file
  I reboot
  
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I add back the xorg file
  I restart
  
  I login
  I get to gnome
  I go to system>preferences>monitors
  I plug the monitor in
  I press detect
  Everything works great
  
  
  I hope this might help some how.
