Using Xorg t extend laptop screen to external monitor

Hey,

I was trying to configure my laptop's xorg.conf file so I could use a external monitor. But things got messed up and now I can't get the original back (meaning a high resolution desktop on the laptop). What went wrong? How is it possible that the server always gets stuck at the line:

FreeFontPath: FPE "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" reference is 2, should be 1; fixing

I'm using Ubuntu 8.04 on a Packard Bell EasyNote SJ5. The graphical card is a nVidia Corp GeForce 7000M.

In the default xorg.conf file that the server generates by doing a reconfigure there is no mension of resolution or even graphical cards and so on...

Can anybody tell me what's going wrong? Does anybody has a working file?

Thanks for help in advance,
Javi

I have same experience, too.

I'm not sure. That is meaning that there is no font file.

Firstly, you look for X system installed directory.

Secondaly you'll see next file.

You'll look at this line which starts with "fixed" in the file.

Maybe default font is "fixed" and that file is not found.

I copied the font file from another system.

And I succeeded. but this is the story I made LFS.
