"solved"
unfortunately, not in a way I'd like.
Back when I was in Ibex (which worked fine apart from crashing hedgears,
an opengl/sdl game) ubuntu had reconfigured xorg.conf to support
attaching it to another monitor as I did occasionally with this laptop.
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
# SubSection "Display"
# Virtual 2384 768
# EndSubSection
EndSection
Commenting out the virtual display fixed things - perhaps a memory issue
with the large virtual size? WAG from someone who doesn't understand the
internals.
This seems like an easy thing for users to trigger though :-/
And I suppose it means it will just try to make this change again, the next
time I plug it into the external monitor.
