=== ilmari_ is now known as ilmari [00:49] 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? === yofel_ is now known as yofel [14:13] hi. is there some Cool New Featureā„¢ in xorg-edgers these days that suddenly makes VGA cable autodetection work awesomely? === merriam_ is now known as merriam [20:24] hyperair, how do you mean? [20:55] 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] 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 [20:56] 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 [20:57] 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 [20:59] hyperair, so, you're fairly happy with this state of affairs, yeah? [21:05] bjsnider: i'm fairly happy with this state of affairs, yes. [21:05] bjsnider: it's just that i keep accidentally hitting super+p [21:31] hyperair, ah, yeah I think that's not particular to xorg-edgers, I've noticed it doing that behavior throughout natty [21:32] hyperair, guessing its the new gnome-display-properties able to more smartly respond to monitor hotplug events [21:36] that would mean gnome is now superior to xp int hat regard, although maybe just on par with vista and beyond
