The yellow screen was a cable issue, I was just the first to experience it.
The screen switching issue appears to be a Unity/Compiz usability bug. My netbook can only hardware-accelerate its native screen, when I attach another monitor hardware acceleration, compiz, and unity fail. Steps to Reproduce 1. Install Natty on a computer that can only accelerate one screen 2. Boot into "Ubuntu" (with the new Unity interface) 3. Attach a second monitor - at this point the UI crashes Workaround When you need to attach another monitor, boot into "Ubuntu Classic (no effects)" -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/766395 Title: multiple monitors fail to display _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
