Rick suggested trying to switch to VT1 and then back. This didn't work, but this is what I did:
1. Switch laptop screen off (FN+F7) This causes the HP main screen to go haywire 2. Switch to VT1 Use 'ctrl+alt+F1' to get to the terminal 3. Switch back to X Use 'ctrl+alt+f7'. Unfortunately the screen is still messed up and not showing a clear picture. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861426 Title: [Oneiric] [Regression] When disabling onboard LVDS display and just using external VGA screen corruption occurs To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/861426/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
