| penguin42 | I was told there was a new X build going onto edgers over the next few days; has it landed yet or is it still worth waiting? | 00:49 |

| hyperair | hi. is there some Cool New Feature™ in xorg-edgers these days that suddenly makes VGA cable autodetection work awesomely? | 14:13 |

| bryceh | hyperair, how do you mean? | 20:24 |
| hyperair | bryceh: i connect my monitor to my laptop via VGA cable. ubuntu automagically detects the new monitor, figures out that i want the monitor on the left of the LVDS (i've configured it this way before via gnome-display-properties), and automatically sets it up as such | 20:55 |
| hyperair | bryceh: i pull out the VGA cable from my laptop, and it detects that the monitor is gone, and switches back to single monitor mode using LVDS | 20:55 |
| hyperair | bryceh: in addition, pressing that special fn+f3 combo (for switching outputs) toggles between cloned, monitor-only, monitor-on-left, monitor-on-right, and lvds-only | 20:56 |
| hyperair | bryceh: the surprising thing is that super+p seems to do the same thing. now, i'm wondering what exactly handles all this magic, and whether super+p is configurable somewhere | 20:57 |
| bjsnider | hyperair, so, you're fairly happy with this state of affairs, yeah? | 20:59 |
| hyperair | bjsnider: i'm fairly happy with this state of affairs, yes. | 21:05 |
| hyperair | bjsnider: it's just that i keep accidentally hitting super+p | 21:05 |
| bryceh | hyperair, ah, yeah I think that's not particular to xorg-edgers, I've noticed it doing that behavior throughout natty | 21:31 |
| bryceh | hyperair, guessing its the new gnome-display-properties able to more smartly respond to monitor hotplug events | 21:32 |
| bjsnider | that would mean gnome is now superior to xp int hat regard, although maybe just on par with vista and beyond | 21:36 |
