I am using Ububtu 14.04 on my mac book because I wanted a smooth transition from my lenovo t61 and I am happy with the transition. However, there are a couple of problems for which I am looking for suggestions.
- I am unable to get the display through vga out for connecting to a
projector. Has anyone tried it?
I faced this issue with some projectors. Solution was to run xrandr manually.
xrandr --addmode DP1 1024x768 xrandr --output DP1 --mode 1024x768 --rate 60
(does your macbook had display port as DP1 too?)
- It appears that apple has moved the webcam from usb based interface to
PCI and so I am unable to use the built-in webcam (an external webcam works fine) in Ubuntu. This is lesser of the problem but would appreciate hearing any suggestions for this too.
I think 6,1 would be an older system because my iSight camera worked out of the box with uvc.
Thanks and regards,
