oh god, do you have one of those stupid dual video chip laptops is it?

I Do not know but I will believe so. In Widows, I have to download the graphic driver for intel and then the graphic driver for nvidia.

is that a bad feature in a loptop to have dual video chip ?

Yes it can cause issues as the manufacturers don't give the same love to Linux.

So now there is no solution to my problem :(

There are guides on them but they can be a pain

I upgraded my ubuntu from 10.04 to 10.10 and the resolution was fixed and the monitor detection as well.
