Dear developers,
I've been directed here by Stephan Graber, and Joseph Salisbury. Stephan has helped me through my first kernel patch, and I am following along with the steps he took pertaining to the following bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/544671
I am working on a bug located here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/907055 and have already submitted a patch. Mr Salisbury recommended I contact the upstream developers in order to have them work this in to the next release, so here I am.
I have an Intel Atom thin clients with Intel 945GM video cards installed. They report an LVDS output as active, even though these thin clients do not have a monitor attached. This is causing the clients to boot in dual-head mode, with one monitor missing.
Thanks everyone for your time.
The bug above has the patch listed in there, but I will include it again below:
