Running xrandr --output DVI-I-2 --mode 1600x1200 to go back to the native resolution or any other supported resolution fails with: xrandr: Configure crtc 0 failed X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation) Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR) Minor opcode of failed request: 21 (RRSetCrtcConfig) Value in failed request: 0x0 Serial number of failed request: 38 Current serial number in output stream: 38 Mode changes from SDL 1.2 and 2.0 also fail, and a SDL 1.2 program is killed by the error when returning from full screen. These are changes for modes on my first monitor, which I use all the time. I think the bug is happening because the second monitor provides invalid EDID while turned off via the switch on the back. Everything works if the switch on the back of the second monitor is turned on or if an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file with sufficient options in the screen section is in place. Ubuntu upgrades rename the xorg.conf file and deactivate it, and I was running into the bug because of that. I'm not yet sure which option lines in the screen section are required. I'm attaching my normal xorg.conf file, which makes things work. I'm calling this a bug because the second monitor shouldn't break mode changes on the first monitor.
