[00:49] <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?
[14:13] <hyperair> hi. is there some Cool New Feature™ in xorg-edgers these days that suddenly makes VGA cable autodetection work awesomely?
[20:24] <bryceh> hyperair, how do you mean?
[20:55] <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
[20:56] <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
[20:57] <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
[20:59] <bjsnider> hyperair, so, you're fairly happy with this state of affairs, yeah?
[21:05] <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
[21:31] <bryceh> hyperair, ah, yeah I think that's not particular to xorg-edgers, I've noticed it doing that behavior throughout natty
[21:32] <bryceh> hyperair, guessing its the new gnome-display-properties able to more smartly respond to monitor hotplug events
[21:36] <bjsnider> that would mean gnome is now superior to xp int hat regard, although maybe just on par with vista and beyond
