Bryce, first off, sorry for mistyping your name ;) I did a bit more testing, and I tried the classic/no effects login again. If I start undocked and dock, I do get the black screen/responsive mouse pointer. However, if I log in with classic/no effects *and* do "xrandr --output LVDS1 --off" and then dock, one monitor lights up with a real desktop (ie it seems to work). The second monitor was off, but I was able to get it to light back up by going to a text console and back to X. (I guess this is the second conflating bug you mentioned).
I tried a standard unity login and did the "xrandr --output LVDS1 --off" and I still ended up with a black but on monitor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745112 Title: [arrandale] desktop is messed up (goes black) when laptop is docked with two external 1920x1200 monitors (x86_64) -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
