CNC and Stuff V2

NOTE – Please click on the title of this post and view it by itslef to see the whole text, I am having issues with my template not wrapping long line right now.

Here is a easy script to correct issues when you do not have the correct resolution available in Ubuntu 8.10 for your external monitor.

This script checks for a usb hub in my docking station and if it is present adds the non-detected, but supported, resloution to the external monitor. I am checking for the hub instead of the monitor because xrandr seems to think it is always connected!?

I just added this to my /etc/gdm/init/Default script

if lsusb | grep "Cypress"; then
echo "Changing LCD resolution"
xrandr --newmode "1440x900_60.00"  106.50  1440 1528 1672 1904  900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA 1440x900_60.00
xrandr --output VGA --mode 1440x900_60.00
else
echo "No Changes"
fi

What this does is add the resolution 1440×900 at 60hz to the external monitor.
This is a supported resolution but is not detected for some reason.

Any questions or comments please feel free to let mw know!

If your search results and other links in internet explorer have started redirecting to advertisment sites here is what you can do.

(This is a workaround not a fix for the root cause)

1.Change your default search provider in the search box to Lycos

2.Delete all the rest of the providers in the search box

3.Restart IE

Enjoy your working links!

If anybody has a fix, not a workaround, let me know!
