- Laptop: DELL vostro 1400 extended with bigger Dell monitor to the top.
- On ubuntu 8.04.1, kernel 2.6.24-21-generic
- Driver: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GeForce 8400M GS (rev a1)
An issue I recently faced> When I upgraded the kernel from 2.6.24-19-generic to 2.6.24-21-generic, linux-restricted-modules also got upgraded (to 2.6.22-15 ).
But, it did not detect the settings properly. If you face the same issue, try removing and re-installing linux-restricted-modules-2.6.22-15-generic. That worked for me.
