Manfred Steiner, in order to finely scope this report on "one issue", this report will only focus on the first time one boots up with the external VGA monitor connected (no Beamer), and is at the login screen (not after login).
Regarding the behavior above, what is reasonable is either, it does what it did before in 16.04, or the monitor is properly detected and is in mirror mode. Either way, one may login. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1773484 Title: First bootup with external VGA monitor plugged in doesn't display anything at login screen Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: What is expected to happen is that with my computer turned off, when I plug in my external VGA monitor into my laptop for the first time, and boot up to the login screen, the display is in mirror mode and I can see the login screen on both the built-in screen, and external monitor. What happens instead is that the login screen is only shown on the built-in screen.
