Summary seems wrong now. It's not about the TV-out blanking, it's the external VGA. As suggested, I wrote up xorg.conf to specifically ignore the tv-out, and it suddenly behaves properly.
Option "monitor-TV" "TV" # in the video device section, plus: Section "Monitor" Identifier "TV" Option "Ignore" "True" EndSection Obviously this isn't ideal, because I do have a tv-out, and I'd like it to work too (haven't tested it at all) -- xrandr causes temporary blanking of external output (tv out) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/147073 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
