Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. A new version of GNOME Control Center is available on Maverick and we are wondering if this bug is still an issue for you with that version? Could you please test and comment back?

[Bug 445100] Re: karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024
using an older thinkpad x40 and karmic and having this same problem. it seems Alessandro Arrichiello is correct and now i've got things working with compiz. the trick seems to be you have to settle for lowering the resolution so that neither width nor height sums to 2048. for example this won't work (except if screens stacked vertically): vga1: 1024x768 lvds1: 1024x768 this will work no matter how screens are positioned: vga1: 1024x768 lvds1: 800x600 i did not use the script above, i just made settings in System-Preferences-Display that followed the 2048 rule. excuse me while i revel in my dual screen awesome. :-) -- karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

ok, searching launchpad and googling a lot, I found this bug is an effect caused by bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/438000 also reported into bug on freedesktop.org: http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22076 As you can see the real problem is a bug/limitation on mesa-lib, you can avoid it by putting your external Monitor (VGA1) below your current screen (LDVS1), NOTE: You've always 2048x2048 maximum 3D texture size limitation so check if your vertical size will not overcome 2048, example: In my case vertical size is: 640 + 1024 = 1664 that doesn't overcome 2048 :-) I've tested it and now it works great with compiz too, this an example script that you can use to switch correctly on (without freeze) your external monitor: #!/bin/bash lvdsres=1024x600 vgares=1280x1024 if [ -e ~/.vgaconnected ] then xrandr --output VGA1 --off --output LVDS1 --mode $lvdsres rm ~/.vgaconnected else xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode $lvdsres --output VGA1 --mode $vgares --rate 60 --below LVDS1 ~/.xrand.log touch ~/.vgaconnected fi Let me know if this solution solved your problems too! bye. ** Bug watch added: freedesktop.org Bugzilla #22076 https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=22076 -- karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

OK seems that I can give you more informations on this bug. If I disable compiz's effects using Apperance from Menu, I can make some test without having freeze using VGA: NOTE: all the tests are not done in display cloning mode. this is a normal output obtained from command compiz --replace without external monitor connected and/or enabled: Checking for Xgl: not present. xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log Detected PCI ID for VGA: Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. Checking for non power of two support: present. Checking for Composite extension: present.

Checking for FBConfig: present. running under gnome seesion, checking for gnomecompat Checking for Xgl: not present. Starting gtk-window-decorator All gone ok, compiz works great without vga enabled. This is the output of compiz --replace (disabling first Effects from Apperance's Menu) enabling VGA with 1280x1024 resolution: Checking for Xgl: not present. xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log Detected PCI ID for VGA: Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. Checking for non power of two support: present. Checking for Composite extension: present. Checking screen 1Comparing resolution (2304x1024) to maximum 3D texture size (2048): Failed. aborting and using fallback: /usr/bin/metacity As you can see there's a problem with resolution, the maximum 3D texture size appear to be: 2048 but I'm using 2304x1024 = 1024x600 (LVDS1) + 1280x1024 (VGA1) Now it's ok no freeze because compiz --replace checks the maximum 3D texture size and reverts back to metacity. That's another test, because I read from compiz output that the max 3D texture size is: 2048, before try to enable compiz effects I've manual set VGA1 resolution to 1024x768, this is the output of compiz --replace: Checking for Xgl: not present. xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file. Using fallback /var/log/Xorg.0.log Detected PCI ID for VGA: Checking for texture_from_pixmap: present. Checking for non power of two support: present. Checking for Composite extension: present.

Checking for FBConfig: present. running under gnome seesion, checking for gnomecompat Checking for Xgl: not present. Starting gtk-window-decorator As you can see all appear to be good but it's not true, screen freezes and I've to disconnect VGA and manually restart gdm. This is my last test using 800x600 resolution for VGA1 before enabling Compiz's Effects: Checking for Xgl: not present. xset q doesn't reveal the location of the log file.

Checking for FBConfig: present. running under gnome seesion, checking for gnomecompat Checking for Xgl: not present. Starting gtk-window-decorator As you can see no errors here. With resolution 800x600 for VGA1 I can use compiz effects without problems, I can watching video with xv driver on mplayer and using transparency on gnome-terminal. I don't know if this can be considered a bug or a limitation caused by my graphics driver and/or video card (intel gma950) but surely gnome- display-properties or xrand maybe have to check if compiz is running an limit down the maximum resolution allowed. this is a shell script that I'm using right now to enable/disable VGA using 800x600 resolution: #!/bin/bash if [ -e ~/.vgaconnected ] then xrandr --output VGA1 --off --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 rm ~/.vgaconnected else xrandr --output LVDS1 --mode 1024x600 --output VGA1 --mode 800x600 --rate 60 --right-of LVDS1 ~/.xrand.log touch ~/.vgaconnected fi Hope that some one can fix/explain something more.

[Bug 445100] Re: karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024
Same here on Asus eeepc 1005HA on Ubuntu 9.10, a solution is: *) Connect VGA cable before login *) If you're already logged in, connect VGA cable, logout an then login again After that you can easily edit resolutions of your screens with gnome-display-properties, but compiz doesn't seem to work properly because my gnome-terminal has lost trasparency and mplayer shows white windows when playing video with -vo xv, I'm able to watch video only with -vo x11 driver. Note: removing VGA cable and restarting gdm solves all the problem related to compiz. Hope that someone can fix this.

[Bug 445100] Re: karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024
I'm also having the same problem on a asus eeepc 1000h with ubuntu 9.10 . When connecting an external monitor the system freezes, not even when I remove the monitor again the system resumes. I have to restart the computer. If the monitor is attached to the eeepc when booting it is detected and used. The resolution on the eeepc lcd gets set to 640x480 though. If I try to change the resolution on the eeepc lcd the system hangs again. Following the advice from supojc and nick and removing all compiz- related solved the problem. -- karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

FYI I'm having the same bug with my Acer Aspire One D150. If I plug in the external monitor, hit detect monitors, both screens goes black, and the netbook freezes. If I turn on the netbook with the external monitor plugged in, both monitors works mirrored, and at 800x600. If I try to change any monitor preference (like position or size), the netbook freezes. I then tried disabling desktop effects (i.e. no compiz), and everything worked perfectly, at the maximun resolution (netbook at 1024x600, external LCD at 1680x1050) HTH. -- karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

As nick mentioned about compiz, I have tried: apt-get remove --purge compiz* and then reboot the machine and then I used gnome-display-properties, this time it works! both 1280x1024 and 1024x768 so the problem must come from compiz.

[Bug 445100] Re: karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024
This problem is affecting me as well, but I don't get a blank screen, but can only see the background image. The gnome panels disappear, and you can only use ALT-F2 to get a command window to change the settings. Setting the screen res back to 1024x768 doesn't cure the problem, but setting the screens to mirrored and then back top this res does get the external monitor working again, and this is 100% reproducible. I'm using the x86_64 bit version, so it would appear to be across the board.
