Arlen, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg 1403228 Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information. As well, given the information from the prior release is already available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be helpful. Thank you for your understanding.

Checking the log, it seems like the system cant decide on a correct resolution and changing it back and forth between different resolutions 4-5 times a second. There exists similar bugs for Ubuntu 14.04 based distros (Linux Mint 17), https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1332895 and reading there it seems its a problem with something not supporting lower than average external monitor resolutions. My main screen is 1366x768. And if you scroll to the bottom of XorgLog.txt, it's actually changing the refresh rate of the external monitor between 60 and 76 4-5 times a second.
