Sadly, I'm seeing this problem on an Acer Aspire One, with Ubuntu 8.10
(Intrepid). I have the stock xserver-xorg-video-intel driver
(2:2.4.1-1ubuntu10.1), but I am running a custom kernel from the Kuki
distribution (see http://www.kuki.me/kernel).
Symptoms are exactly as described before ... using xrandr to switch from
the LVDS to external VGA, then see occasional and irregular glitches
where the screen "jumps" slightly for a split second. Some time later,
between a few minutes and a couple of hours, the external screen then
goes a solid colour (a pastel blue so far!). I can switch back to the
LVDS output and the system works perfectly. Trying to switch back to the
VGA output causes the monitor to sync to the laptop, but only a blank
(black) screen is shown. Only way to recover working VGA is a reboot.
My xorg.conf is completely stock:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
EndSection
I've attached lspci output. Will also attach Xorg.0.log next post.
