Hi all, Does anyone know if there is a way to have a "default" Xorg config, but if it fails for an alternative config to be attempted - I don't mind if this is within the Xorg config file or if it involves some scripting. Background: I have a USB harddrive that I tend to keep with me. At College I plug it into the machine connected to the projector, alas the machines in question often have different setups. Some have Intels, some have ATIs. Some have a VGA splitter so the monitor and projector work together, some have single connections (either monitor or projector, but not both). If I delete the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file and restart X/GDM then Ubuntu goes into 640x480 VESA mode from where I can then configure the driver, resolution, refresh rate, etc. Since there are only a limited number of configurations (Intel + Projector, Intel + Monitor, Intel + [Projector + Monitor], ATI + Projector, ATI + Monitor, ATI + [Projector + Monitor]), it'd be really handy if I could spend an hour sorting it out so that it "just works" thereafter.
