I've done what you said and if I start my computer without external monitor I get a blank screen blinking. If I plug-in the external monitor and restart X then the eee screen is still black and blinking sometimes but it works the external monitor.
I don't have that problem anymore but it's not ease to unplug the external monitor and go out with the eeepc if you unnderstand. In 8.04 I was turning of the eeepc monitor from System-Preferences- Screen Resolution. This bug is especially manifesting when both eeepc screen and external monitor are plugged in. Thank you for all your help. -- [eeepc, gm915gm] When I plug in external monitor to VGA the X desktop fails do display correctly https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/259414 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
