Title:
Screen output selection broken with Dell Latitude E-series advanced
dock
Status in “gnome-desktop” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xrandr
Hardware: Latitude E6500/Intel GMA-4500MHD graphics, E-series advanced
dock, 2 x DVI monitors
Actual behaviour:
- on boot (login screen), docked with the laptop lid closed, The external
displays are deactivated (I assume that the laptop panel is activated). Opening
the lid deactivates the laptop display and activates both external displays in
clone mode. Closing the lid deactivates the external panels again.
- On login, the displays remain in clone mode. Opening the laptop lid,
waiting for display switching and then closing it again causes the external
displays to (correctly) switch to extended desktop
- Undocking with the laptop lid closed often causes X to hang (PC still
available over SSH, only killing the X server brings it back to life)
- Docking with the laptop lid closed almost always causes X to hang
- Docking with the laptop lid open, then closing the lid results in
(incorrect) clone mode or nothing on the external displays. Repeated opening
and closing of the lid sometimes fixes this; other times the displays have to
be manually reconfigured.
Expected behaviour:
- At least one external display should ALWAYS be activated when the laptop
lid is closed!
- Xrandr/Gnome should remember its last configuration for each combination of
connected/active (e.g. laptop lid when not closed) displays, and always switch
to that when they are next active in the same combination.
- No crashes :)
