Compiz' Copy to Texture plugin so can display on multi-head layouts
bigger than the max GL texture size. I'll go ahead and close this one
out as fixed, since

After upgrading to oneiric, I experienced another problem. Everything works
fine with an old flat monitor with res 1280x1024.
On a large monitor (1920x1200, IIyama) the screen is flickering/flashing. There
was many messages in Xorg.0.log like that:

Argh... My previous comment was *not true*. The problem is more
intricate and the option TripleBuffer has no effect. Under certain
combination of suspending to RAM and using a docking station, the
external screen is flickering/flashing. Unfortunately, It is difficult
to reproduce in a

This problem is gone for me in oneiric, so I will unsubscribe. On
another note, I do have a problem when undocking with a locked screen,
the unlock dialog do not appear... but that is not relevant here.

I have found a workaround that enables me to use the external display at work.
It works if I plug it in after I log in to Ubuntu classic with no effects. If
it is plugged in during startup, the screen on the laptop will be blank and
only the wallpaper is shown on the external display. I can
To all who upgraded to Natty and experiencing a blank screen with an
external display: Go to one of the Console sessions (e.g. ctrl+alt+f1),
then rename the ~/.config/monitors.xml file. This resets the Gnome's
Monitor settings and should give you a working Unity / Gnome Deskop on
both displays.
Just a comment.
When I plug an external display and the screen has some black parts or is
totally black, I switch to the console and kill the compiz process. Then the
screen is refreshed and I can continue to work...

Just an observation... In my dual boot environment (Windows7 and Ubuntu)
the longer I stay in Ubuntu without switching Windows the worse and more
frequent my video issues happen. Once I log into windows, even if just
for a minute, when I boot back into Ubuntu, I am then able to add a
monitor
Similar problem here. Acer Timelinex laptop, 4820T ZQ1B with Intel HD
graphics.
If I boot without the second monitor plugged in, then after logging in
plug in the monitor, it works. (albeit without any advanced graphics
support).

Same here on the an Acer Aspire TimelineX 3820tg (ATI Radeon HD 5650
*switchable*). I may have te revert back to 10.10 where it worked fine.

In case it has some significance. When booting with the external monitor
connected via HDMI I can get the login screen to show on the external monitor,
though the resolution is very low. After login, the monitor turns black showing
only the mouse pointer (the resolution seems right after login
Same problem after installing 11.04 on Lenovo U160. As soon as i plug in
the HDMI cable (or VGA) everything goes black. Mouse pointer visible on
external display, and sometimes also the top bar. Nothing is clickable
though...

Same problem on a DELL E4200.
I was also unable to switch on an external display of 1920x1200 (and switch off
laptop screeen). I finally succeed in removing monitors.xml in .config, and
restart xorg. I suspect the bug is more related to compiz than xorg.
