After I plug in a external monitor to my laptop, and change some display settings, the screen of the laptop displays abnormal. A possible reason of this issue is about change resolution to a un-fit resolution, such as from 1366x768 to 640x480. Or change refresh rate to some strange number, such 59Hz. Since all behaviour is normal if without external monitor, thus this may be due to two monitors can't be sync together. I think such changes should be allow to sufficient user's preference. Steps to repeat: 1. plug in an external monitor 2. Open Display Preference Application on the laptop 3. Change resolution from 1366x768 to 640x480 4. Change refresh rate to 59Hz What happens: Laptop screen outputs some garbage data on the right-upper part, some part of screen didn't display correctly. What should happen: Any changes about resolution or refresh rate should display correctly after plug in a external monitor. ---- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: xorg 1:7.7+1ubuntu5 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-24.37-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-24-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 1:7.7+1ubuntu5 Architecture: amd64 CheckboxSubmission: 017452a27eca3c8b498abbfa5ef91db9 CheckboxSystem: ecaaad6fa1e0799a0aa1126bf620f39e Date: Mon July 8 11:09:43 2013 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 12.10.1 "Quantal Quetzal" - Release amd64 (20121017.1) PackageArchitecture: all ProcEnviron: TERM=xterm PATH=(custom, user) LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: xorg UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2011-11-08 (178 days ago) ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Incomplete ** Tags: bot-comment -- Laptop monitor display incorrectly after plug in an external monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1197437 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
