Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xrandr

I have an external monitor caonnected to my laptop and I use both as a
big desktop. It works well, even with compiz :D

However, when I start Totem Media Player my external screen goes totally
black for 1-2 seconds. After the blackout it comes on again and works
normally. This happens at every startup of totem (but not when I close
it)

I get the same issue when i run xrandr from terminal. I suppose this is
how totem detects my monitors.

It doesn't matter if I have "Desktop Effects" enabled or disabled.

I have a HP Compaq 6510b with Intel 965 graphics.
xserver-xorg-video-intel version 2:2.2.1-1ubuntu13.7

"xrandr -v" says version is 1.2 after another short blackout
