** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center - Machine: Lenovo Thinkpad X201 - Bug is critical - I cannot use my machine in any normal way with Ubuntu. + Important(?) remark: I switched back to a previous linux kernel to write this report in a decent way, the collected information is therefore not accurate, the uname should be the newest kernel now used, not the one that is in the list. + Bug is critical - I cannot use my machine in any normal way with Ubuntu. In the previous version of Ubuntu (10.64) the following problem did not occur - it all worked like a charm. After the upgrade my machine became virtually unusable due to the following video problem. Details: by default Ubuntu 11.04 does not start in full resolution on my external display. Only a small square is visible in the middle of my screen. That is no real issue for me, however: if I use Monitors (gnome-display-manager) to switch to the appropriate resolution for my external display, and switch off my laptop screen, the following happens: - external screen goes blank (dark color, not off), mouse still visible and movable - laptop screen is switched off (not dark color, really off) (thats good) I cannot do anything, so have to wait until it automatically switches back to previous settings. However, this goes wrong as well: - laptop screen joins the party: same as external screen now, also a movable mousepointer with a blank, dark colored, screen. Machine is unusable from now on. Hope you can solve this soon. I've tried it with 2 different installations of Ubuntu 11.04 on my machine - same problem. Thanks.
