I think this bug is also biting me. I installed the final 11.04 on my Thinkpad 410s ( Arrandale / Intel(R) Core(TM) i5 M 520 w/UMA graphics ), and my external monitors both at home and in the office worked just fine as extended desktops. Since I bought it, this has been the first Ubuntu laptop I've had that I could just plug the external monitor in, and it just *worked*.
I updated the system the following Monday after the final release, and my external monitor support broke. I get a visible top panel on my external monitor, and a blank desktop. If I drag a window from my builtin LCD to the external monitor, it's not visible. I tried fooling around with the Monitors settings application to no avail ( and sometimes Compiz crashes ). I tried backing down the xserver-xorg-video-intel package from 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7.1 to 2:2.14.0-4ubuntu7, and it made no difference. When I backed down from Unity 3.8.12-0ubuntu1 to 3.8.10-0ubuntu2, my external monitor started working again. Please let me know if there's any additional information I can provide. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/753971 Title: Display garbled upon restoring original resolution or connecting external displays -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
