I've been doing some more testing on the Dell D420 referred to in #14. If I boot with the 2nd monitor connected, the system starts with the displayed mirrored. I can then use system / preferences / display to make the displays different. If I unplug the monitor, I can use system / preferences / display to reset it back to a single display and it works. If I then plug-in the monitor again, the display hangs in the same way as if the laptop was booted without a second display connected. Both primary and secondary screens are blank except for a stationary cursor on the secondary monitor.
If I switch to metacity as described in this thread, dual screens just work. -- [i945gm] [karmic] X servers hangs when settings up dual monitor config https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438000 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
