I have a motherboard with a LDVS port and so on install ubuntu always thinks it’s a laptop and sets the default monitor to laptop which of course has nothing attached and leaves me staring at a blank desktop on my hdmi monitor.
In mint I could fiddle with the mouse and get it onscreen and right click and open a terminal and then fire up the display utility and change it but that’s not working here.
So looks like I need to do that in the config file (after booting off a stick). Only all the generic ubuntu posts talk about editing monitor.xml in the .config directory only there is no such file. So how does one do this in mate??
