Two crucial items of information about the bug: 1. Before the crash occurred, the X40 laptop was attached to the docking station, its monitor and the external monitor were both on, and the desktop spread across them both. The following then happened:
- The laptop was removed from the docking station while still on. - The laptop screen corrected itself to display the full desktop that had previously been displayed across both screens - The laptop was replaced on the docking station. The external monitor was still powered up. - The system reported problem resolving screen resolution, and the rest is as described in my bug report. 2. Since this problem occured there has been another crippling problem with my graphics: I cannot get the laptop graphics to work at all if I attempt to switch it on when it is not attached to the docking station. If I attempt to switch it on without being attatched to the docking station, the system doesn't boot far enough to give me the 'graphics not working properly' error. If I attach the machine to the docking station and then switch it on, it will work but only in low-graphics mode. (P.S. I re-reported this bug using -p with the ubuntu-bug command and linked that report to this one. hopefully that's given all the info you need). -- [karmic] Only low graphics mode on IBM X40 with Intel 855gm after external monitor crash using docking-station https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/534012 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
