Grifter, 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 (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number> Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc3 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a05 needs-upstream-testing ** Summary changed: - Unity malfunctions when using multiple screens + 10de:0caf [Dell Alienware M11x] Unity malfunctions when using multiple screens ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792902 Title: 10de:0caf [Dell Alienware M11x] Unity malfunctions when using multiple screens Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: When I hook up my Alienware M11x through HDMI to my TV, my unity button goes away. If I put my mouse in the upper corner, I still sometimes get the unity bar on the left of my screen, but it doesn't go away unless I click something in it, and even then it doesn't always, frequently either not opening at all, or not going away even though I'm trying to click elsewhere. I have my screens cloned, and am using the Ubuntu Nvidia XServer settings to do it. (I also can't get sound on the HDMI out, but that's another well known bug.)
