Using Xorg t extend laptop screen to external monitor
Hey,

I was trying to configure my laptop's xorg.conf file so I could use a external monitor. But things got messed up and now I can't get the original back (meaning a high resolution desktop on the laptop). What went wrong? How is it possible that the server always gets stuck at the line:
Code:
FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" reference is 2, should be 1; fixing
I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 on a Packard Bell EasyNote SJ5. The graphical card is a nVidia Corp GeForce 7000M.

In the default xorg.conf file that the server generates by doing a reconfigure there is no mension of resolution or even graphical cards and so on...

Can anybody tell me what's going wrong? Does anybody has a working file?

Thanks for help in advance,
Javi
