Seeing the same - but later: if I run xrandr when logged in. I have a dualhead set up on my laptop, the computer that this is about, but I don't want to hardcode it into xorg.conf because then it will complain if I'm not near the separate monitor. So I run a few xrandr commands after login and presto, it works. Most of the time. It seems that if I run two xrandr commands in quick succession while the machine is busy, it often locks up (in the same sense as the others have described above); same if I ask KDE to tamper with the resolution. If I wait after login till the system has "settled down", I can run the xrandr command that sets things up without problem.
Attaching trimmed /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old, this is when it locked up badly. Will also attach /var/log/Xorg.0.log, my currently running session where everything works blissfully. ** Attachment added: "Trimmed from around 1M to 5200 lines" http://launchpadlibrarian.net/21182294/Xorg.0.log.old.trimmed -- kdm crashes when randr is enabled https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147361 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
