That's a question I am also asking myself. The descriptions are a bit
different, but, when doing more test on this bug yesterday with compiz
enabled, it happened once that, after going to dual screen mode, the
screen went black with only the white mouse pointer displayed and moving

After reading https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22076, I
disabled compiz and moved to metacity, and I can now setup dual screen
fine, no more bug ! I am currently writing this comment from my dual
screen setup with metacity !
So, moving from compiz to metacity is a simple workaround
Just a quick note to say that the bug is still present with an up-to-
date Karmic (with xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu2
currently installed) and is still 100% reproductible.

[karmic] X servers hangs when settings up dual monitor config
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438000
How can I help more on this issue ?
It is really a critical issue (because of this bug, I need to reboot
into Windows every time I want to connect to a video projector) and the
release date of Karmic is getting closer. As an Intel video card user, I
suffered a lot when Jaunty was released, and I

I am using an up-to-date Karmic Koala. The X server works very fine... until I
want to connect an external monitor to my laptop. The scenario of the bug is :

The changelog says Fixes xkb bogus length in write keyboard desc, with
a reference to the Debian bug #529625.
I'll upgrade my karmic soon to test it.

hang on BOGUS
According to my research (but I may be wrong, I am not an expert), the
patch in not in Karmic Koala either. In current karmic koala, the
package xserver-xorg-core is version 1.6.1.901, and when I look at the
source packages :
ubuntu/pool/main/x/xorg-server/xorg-server_1.6.1.901.orig.tar.gz
The bug is now fixed in Debian Sid, cf
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=529625
The new package is xserver-xorg-core version 1.6.2.901-1.
Now that the fix is in Debian, let's have it in Ubuntu !

The Fix-released statuts means that the bug has been fixed upstream,
but the fix is not in the Ubuntu packages yet (the name of this status
is confusing many people).
The problem is that the fix has been released upstream for two month
now, but nothing has arrived in Ubuntu yet, so we are still
Now that a fix is released upstream, let's fix it in Ubuntu ! When do
you guys plan to upload a package with the fix ? We are all waiting for
it because having an X server which crashes regularly is very annoying !

hang on BOGUS LENGTH in write keyboard desc
I have the same bug here on two different laptop at my office : one with
Intrepid and one with Jaunty. The error message in the X server log file
after the crash is exactly the same : BOGUS LENGTH in write keyboard
desc. On these two laptops, I had changed some default settings in
System
Here are the logs of the X server for the same crash on an Intrepid
system.
