Ubuntu's auto-configured [http://www.die.net/doc/linux/man/man5/xorg.conf.5.html {{path|xorg.conf}}] doesn't use the X60's external VGA port by default. This means that either another configuration utility must be used, or {{path|xorg.conf}} must be edited by hand. So far I haven't had any luck with Kubuntu's ''System Settings'' utility, so here I'm looking at direct changes to {{path|xorg.conf}}.

External VGA port

Ubuntu's auto-configured xorg.conf doesn't use the X60's external VGA port by default. This means that either another configuration utility must be used, or xorg.conf must be edited by hand. So far I haven't had any luck with Kubuntu's System Settings utility, so here I'm looking at direct changes to xorg.conf.

Auto-configured xorg.conf for reference

This only activates the X60's LCD, and does not use the external VGA port.
