Source : https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution#Adding%20undetected%20resolutions
Commands :
xrandr to show all the available configs, where I can see that my second sreen (on Iiyama ProLite E2607WS) miss the correct resolution 1920×1200 (60hz).
So I must add the mode for xrandr :
- Find the correct modLine to add :
cvt 1920 1200 wich output
# 1920x1200 59.88 Hz (CVT 2.30MA) hsync: 74.56 kHz; pclk: 193.25 MHz
Modeline "1920x1200_60.00" 193.25 1920 2056 2256 2592 1200 1203 1209 1245 -hsync +vsync
- Copy the second line without “Modeline” and Paste it in xrandr –newmode command :
xrandr --newmode "1920x1200_60.00" 193.25 1920 2056 2256 2592 1200 1203 1209 1245 -hsync +vsync
- Add this new mode to
LVDS VGA output (you can see the correct name for resolution string with the command xrandr, without argument) :
xrandr --addmode VGA 1920x1200_60.00
- Tried without success to do :
xrandr --ouptut VGA --mode VGA 1920x1200_60.00
- Finish the job with gui utility “screen resolution” (“System > preferences > Screen Resolution”)
NB. With my former monitor (a samsunc syncMaster 223BW), my second screen was flickering. It was du to noise in the ground wire of the installation. When I was disconnecting my laptop from AC power, the flickering was stopping (found the idea on the net after several hours searching for a software/driver problem…). So, I plugged the monitor on a 2 ground plug (you can use a 3 to 2 grounds adaptor), and the flickering was over.
This howto can be used for any screen/graphic card combination if your native screen resolution is missing.

didierubuntu ubuntu
As a pre-release, logmein give a “Linux browser plugin”. But (infortunately for me) “a 32-bit x86 version of Firefox 2.x or 3.0 is required”.

Edit : install icedTea / openJDK :

The easiest way to download OpenJDK and Icedtead (the plugin) is Applications > Add/Remove > Change the Show box to either “All OpenSource Applications” or “All Available Applications” (The former is also known as Universe and contains free (as in speech) applications, while the latter is also known as Multiverse and contains proprietary appliations.) > Search: Icedtea > click on the boxes next to OpenJDK and Icedtea > apply changes > apply > close.

didierubuntu, ZendStudio ubuntu, zend studio
This is obsolete (Zend Studio 7 has a 64 bit version now )
Zend Studio (6.1.2) is still 32 bits only (even 7.0 beta). I could install without problems, but some weird behaviors occured (impossible to connect to the web, impossible to synchronize repositories…). Here is my workaround :
1) Install ia32-sun-java6-bin (with synaptic)
2) modify jre to load (zend support) in zend .ini file
Default zend ini file is : /usr/local/Zend/ZendStudioForEclipse-6.1.2/ZendStudio.ini. Add the following lines to the start of the file:
; Run Zend Studio with system's JRE
-vm
/usr/lib/jvm/ia32-java-6-sun-1.6.0.14/jre/lib/i386/client/libjvm.so
; ----------------------------------------
Of course, adapt you path to libjvm.so (in synaptics, properties of ia32-sun-java6-bin->files).
64 bits version of Zend Studio is planned, but with no ETA
This links were helpful for me :

- http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=553508
- http://www.dbaranski.net/node/17
NB. Install
In order to install you must have libc6-i386 and ia32-libs. If not make this :
sudo apt-get install libc6-i386 ia32-libs
In my install of jaunty (9.04), il was already installed.
Thanks to Dominic for this tip.
