Title:
Resolution continually switches with dual monitors + screen flickering
Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I've had this bug since Ubuntu 12.04 and have battled with it for 8+
months.
Originally, switching from 11.10 to 12.04, I experienced bad screen
flickering (3-45 seconds between flickers) and could not find the
issue. I was also not able to run multiple monitors because when I
plugged in the HDMI cable, the resolution between screens would
continually change (every ~2 seconds) and would not settle on a
configuration. I finally was able to fix the issue by switching kernel
versions to the 3.4 kernel (back when I had 12.04). When I upgraded to
12.10 (upgrading the kernel again to the default shipped with 12.10),
I had the same issue and reinstalled the 3.4 kernel and fixed the
issue.
Now I'm back to the same issue after upgrading to 13.04. I have
screen/window flickering at random intervals and I cannot run an
external monitor (although, I can get about 10 minutes out of it
before it resets configurations for me). I can't reinstall the 3.4
kernel as there is no version for ringtail.
