cant have the ThinkPad LCD turn on after docking
Posted: Thu Aug 04, 2011 3:38 pm
Hello,
I had this http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=48&t=98342 issue earlier today and managed to make the dock work after configuring Nvidia to turn off the laptop LCD while using my external monitor
then I've hibernated and came back home now and when i start the laptop and get into ubuntu's lock screen the monitor is turned off because i've configured it earlier, how do i know i'm on lock screen not hanged? i hit enter then enter the password then press Fn F4 or Fn F12 i get into sleep or hibernation mode then start the PC and i get the grub to select an OS from.
I went into windows fine but everytime i get into linux i have this issue.
So till i boot from live CD or USB drive into ubuntuLive and fix the xorg.conf, is there a way to fix this issue?
on my previous W500 i press Fn F7 my screen comes back, but since i'm configured it using Nvidia Fn F7 is no longer takes effect now.
any idea sharing is appreciated for sharing the knowledge purposes
Thanks
