@David A few updates... I updated back to 3.8.12 and ran a few more tests...
1. If my external monitor is connected before I login, everything seems to work OK. It's only if I plug in the external monitor while already logged in that the problems occur. 2. When I plugin the monitor while logged in, I usually get a black border immediately below the panel on my laptop screen. As mentioned above, the external monitor displays the top panel, and the entire screen below the panel is black ( i.e. no background displayed ). If I drag a window to the external monitor, the cursor responds as it should ( i.e. it's a hand while dragging, changes to a cursor is I position where I think the main body of a terminal window is, changes to a pointer if I move the cursor beyond where I think the window's borders should be ). The menu bar seems to work OK as well. I tried typing in an xterm window and it had no effect ( i.e. the window stayed invisible ). I also tried to launch a properties dialog, and it too is invisible. -- 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
