I usually do not use projector or external monitor. But there are times when any body needs it usually in presentations and meetings. I realized, for some reason, my VGA port was not working, in my HP Pavillion with Ubuntu 11.10.

Since, I've to use VGA port more often for presentations now. I decided to make it work.

So this is how I made it work.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update

OK, first of all, I think everyone is aware of the fact that Ubuntu (especially the Unity desktop) heavily depends on Compiz (one of the best window-manager that uses 3D hardware accelerations). So configuring Compiz in Ubuntu can be pretty handy, only if you know what you're doing, no disrespect intended.

Although you can easily do this by installing a well known front-end but still, even without having to install anything at all, you can change a lot of Compiz related settings in Ubuntu 11.04 using the Gnome configuration manager called "Gconfig-editor".
