Lee Willis / Goran Obal, just to clarify the WORKAROUND, do you have to xinput
disable all three of the following, or could you do 1-2 of them and it still
works:
↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=17 [slave keyboard (3)]
** Description changed:
- A fresh install of Ubuntu 11.10 on a Dell Vostro 3550 with all updates (OSS
only - no proprietary drivers). When connecting the laptop to an external
monitor to extend my desktop the display settings are unstable. I choose to
enable both the laptop panel, and the external monitor setting appropriate
resolutions and apply settings. Sometimes the chosen settings do not "take". If
they do apply, and I confirm that I want to keep the settings, at random
intervals the display settings are auto-changed by the system. This may include:
- - Resetting to "mirrored" displays at 1024x768
- - Resetting to a single display on the laptop panel
- - Resetting to a single display on the external monitor
- - Some other weird combination.
+ On my Dell Vostro 3550, from 11.10 through 14.04 When connecting to an
+ external monitor to extend my desktop the display settings are unstable.
+ Sometimes the chosen settings do not "take". If they do apply, and I
+ confirm that I want to keep the settings, at random intervals the
+ display settings are auto-changed by the system. This may include
+ resetting to "mirrored" displays at 1024x768, a single display on the
+ laptop panel, a single display on the external monitor, or some other
+ undesired combination.
- E.g. When using my computer in a time range of 10 minutes i could get
- through 5 different dispositions and resolutions. It could be both
- display working fine, then only one but with wrong resolution, then the
- two again but with mirror, then just the second, and so on.
+ In Saucy, I attempted to use the proprietary drivers, but this did not work:
+ * fglrx-installer from the repository (Login screen fine, but logging in
produces a black page with only white cursor showing).
+ * fglrx-installer-updates (Login screen fine, but logging in produces a
black page with only white cursor showing).
+ * Manually installing Catalyst 13.4 - unusable display corruption.
+
+ WORKAROUND: xinput
