I'd like to report some weird variation of this bug. I've an Acer Aspire One, less than a week old which has Ubuntu 8.10 on it. Not the latest kernel, that doesn't work with the network so it default loads the stock Ibex kernel instead.
I use the laptop at home and in the office and in both places plug in an external screen and set the laptop screen to off. At home I've an Acer 22" widescreen @ 1600x1050 and everything works perfectly. No screen twitches, no blank screens, no nothing. At work I've tried both an 18" LG and a 19" Iiyama @ 1280x1024. Both of those give screen twitches and eventually a blank screen within an hour or so. Would anyone have an explanation why a higher res monitor is more stable? Is it some kind of Acer compatibility, ie their monitors are less likely to have compatibility issues with the Aspire One or is it something else? Working on the laptop screen for 6+ hours and flicking between crowded desktops feels very claustrophic and annoying and I'm hardly going to convince my office to give me a shiny 22" widescreen. -- VGA-out dies after a while on Eee 1000H https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
