I am having a very similar problem, only my screen does not go black. Instead, my screen freezes the exact image that was up when the crash occurs. The problem is recreated in the exact same way as described by others, plugging in a VGA cable and attempting to activate the external screen.
I did try booting with the cable already inserted, but this did not remedy the problem. -- [i945gme] attaching external monitor: laptop display is black, external monitor too, with frozen mouse coursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
