Bug#431032: xserver-xorg-video-i810: LCD won't turn off when docked, on Dell laptop
Subject: xserver-xorg-video-i810: LCD won't turn off when docked on Dell laptop
Package: xserver-xorg-video-i810
Version: 2:2.0.0-1
Severity: normal
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I use a docking station for my laptop: a Dell Latitude D610.
Since a apt-get upgrade of the X server the sensor that detects when the lid is
down does not function and the LCD screen is on all the time, event
when the lid
is closed. I tried using Fn + f8 and the program i810switch to force
the LCD off,
but to no avail.
The effects of this are:-
1) The CRT I attach to the docking station runs at the resolution of the LCD
display - very flickery and annoying and low-res.
2) The LCD display never shuts off even when the lid is closed on the laptop.
The X server tries briefly to run at the resolution specified in the
xorg.conf but fails and falls back to the default LCD spec - 1024 X
768
This used to work fine before the "upgrade"!
