I've been doing some more testing on the Dell D420 referred to in #14. If I boot with the 2nd monitor connected, the system starts with the displayed mirrored. I can then use system / preferences / display to make the displays different. If I unplug the monitor, I can use system / preferences / display to reset it back to a single display and it works. If I then plug-in the monitor again, the display hangs in the same way as if the laptop was booted without a second display connected. Both primary and secondary screens are blank except for a stationary cursor on the secondary monitor.
If I switch to metacity as described in this thread, dual screens just work. -- [i945gm] [karmic] X servers hangs when settings up dual monitor config https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438000 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs -- universe-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/universe-bugs
