Before i had Ubuntu 12.10 running on this laptop and the mini display port worked. Now i have Ubuntu 13.04 and the mini display port does not work anymore. If i connect my external monitor using a vga to mini display port adapter (as i did with ubuntu 12.10 too) nothing at all happens. Not even a flicker. I have bumblebee installed.

xrandr -q

What can i try to make it work? As far as i know, the mini display port is connected to the intel graphics card.

Found the solution:



xrandr --addmode DP1 1920x1080
xrandr --output DP1 --mode 1920x1080 --right-of LVDS1


works like a charm
