I confirm this bug on Gateway Tablet PC CX200X and Karmic. As long as I don't have Compiz unable I can do anything, dual screen, mirror, extended. My laptop has a res. of 1280 x 768 (16:10) and my Samsung monitor 1680 x 1050 (16:10). If I try to unable visual effects and the monitor is connected it would tell me "Desktop effects could not be enabled" and stays the same, but if I have the visual effects on and connect the second monitor it would go black screen with only showing the pointer but the system is none responsive.
I tried to install the files on https://launchpad.net/~compiz/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/890268/+listing-archive-extra but I get into a circular dependency problems compiz-core needs compiz-gnome, and vise-verse. I would like to give this fix a try. I see in youtube people showing compiz and dual monitor with no problem at all, so I think this problem might not be so hard to fix. -- [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
