I also have this problem (using a laptop with an Intel GMA 945 graphics controller). I can confirm that no crash happens with the following sequence:
Boot laptop with external monitor unplugged, Disable visual effects, Plug in the monitor, Type "xrandr --auto" in Terminal, Go to Display Prefs, Turn laptop monitor off, Keep external monitor on/Set external monitor to max resolution, Fini! Now how can I get the external monitor plugged in without having to go through this process? -- [i945gme] attaching external monitor: laptop display is black, external monitor too, with frozen mouse coursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419328 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
