Rogan (and anyone else having this problem): Just to follow up on what Daniel said, the best thing to do will be to: 1.) Run 'lspci | grep VGA' in the terminal and note it's result 2.) Run 'ubuntu-bug unity' - make sure to tell the bug reporting wizard the problem is graphical 3.) In the summary

Hi Rogan, I understand your frustration with the bug process and am sorry that it seems arbitrary and possibly unfair to you. However I'd like to ask for your understanding too, in that the Ubuntu project has limited resources, and the process is in place to make sure those resources are used as e

Sam, that's all well and good (and an inherent part of software development...), however; If you folks feel the need to close the bug for internal bookkeeping / organization / spring cleaning / warm fuzzies / whatever-you-want, then it would be damned spiffy if you could also take a moment to spin

I'll second Ben Romer's observation. It seems to have gotten better, but it's a long way from smooth functioning. I hope I won't come across as unhelpful (by not providing specific details), but a testing routine should be pretty simple: * Plug & unplug the external monitor & make sure everything

You can add Asus EeePC 1001 to the list. Plugging in an external monitor creates either (a) a secondary monitor displaying only a top panel, (b) a secondary monitor displaying nothing with blocks of black on the primary (netbook) screen. Changing resolution makes no difference. Having the external
