Description:
"Binary package hint: unity

(I'm not sure where in the stack this problem really is, so I'm guessing
and picking on unity)

I have a Lenovo T410s laptop with Intel graphics and I use it with a
dock with two 1920x1200 monitors connected. I'm running up-to-date
Natty. If I boot the laptop with it already docked, everything works
perfectly: the two external monitors are used and I get a nice unity
desktop spanning my 3840x1200 space.

However, if I boot with the laptop undocked, log in, and then dock the
laptop, it breaks pretty badly. Only one monitor is lit up, and I just
get a black screen with a mouse pointer there -- no desktop background,
windows, toolbars, or anything. Once it's in this state, it doesn't seem
possible to recover -- if I undock the laptop again, the internal screen
just stays black with a pointer.

When the laptop is in a working state, undocking it sort of works... the
desktop switches to the laptop screen, but then redocking it acts just
like docking as described above."


Thank you!
