One of the recent updates has changed the situation on my machine to the better :-) Dock and Undock events are working again Also Plug and Unplug events are working again
Only remaining regression is that Power On/Off events of the external monitor are not recognised. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1173478 Title: Regression: power on/off and connect/disconnect of external monitor not detected Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When I connect or disconnect an external monitor, or when I switch the power of a connected monitor on and off, the state does not get detected. When I switch the external monitor off, or remove the laptop from the docking-station, the system continues to "think" there are two monitors connected. Sometimes it helps to push the button "detect monitors" in the display setiings, or to hit the hardware button that toggles trough the display states (internal-only, mirror screens, external-only, extended screen) , on my machine it's the Fn-F5 key. But sometimes this does not help at all. Even worse, when I put the laptop in the docking-station with the external-monitor powered off, and the cold-boot the laptop, X "thinks" that the external monitor were powered on. As I have a laptop and two docking-stations, one at home the other at work, with two different external monitors connected I could see a really strange effect. Even with the monitor powered off I can see the correct monitor information in the display settings dialog, so some how the information is read from the powerless monitor. If connected and turned on, the displays otherwise work normally, no screen corruption of any kind. Just the state of the monitors is not correctly detected. On Quantal using precisely the same harware it worked as expected. On external monitor on/off or dock/undock the display settings adjusted themselves to the new situation without any manual interaction. I verfied this behaviour also with a live USB Stick of raring-beta2. I'm not 100% sure whether this bug is to be located in the linux- kernel or the X11 system. It just worked with all Ubuntu Versions from Karmic up to Quantal, and now using Raring it does no longer work.
