Public bug reported:
When I plug second monitor it sometimes detects it and sometimes not.
Even when it detects it, it doesn't offer the correct resolutions to
choose from and the only way to use it is to select one well below of
what the monitor supports. Randomly it offers the correct resolutions
for a little while.
I have experienced this bug in two Laptops one using a Samsung monitor
model number: lr23ws and another using a 40" Samsung HDTV
I have read online that other people are having the same issue with
different monitors of different brands.
Ubuntu works perfectly on my laptop as long as I don't try to plug a
monitor but not everyone in the world uses laptops I have a Desktop in
which I simply can't install Ubuntu because it doesn't detect my
monitor. And I cannot use my $200 monitor with my laptop because it
isn't detected neither.
I have experienced this bug since Ubuntu 9.10. I have reported it many
times and it's still broken, the problem is not with multi-monitor
support but actually with making work a single monitor at all. We are
not in the era of punched cards, not being able to connect a monitor
should have more priority than what little is being given.
