Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop
I just connected a new monitor to my laptop as a secondary screen to
check if it has no dead pixels. I then used gnome-display-properties to
configure a multi-monitor setup where the external monitor is a bigger
(higher resolution) extension of my notebook screen. gnome-display-
properties said that it has to create a xorg.conf when I press apply and
that i need to logoff and login again. After that it works as expected.
The problem is that from then on compiz is deactivated (I suppose this
because my GPU isn't powerful enough to drive the virtual screen that
gnome-display-properties configures in my xorg.conf) and stays
deactivated, even if I disconnect the other screen and remove it's
configuration in gnome-display-properties.
The actual bug is that when I now try to reactivate compiz in gnome-
appearance-properties it just tells me that it can't initialize the
driver. There is absolutely no hint as how this problem can be solved or
even what the problem is. I could solve this problem by deleting my
xorg.conf but most users would get stuck here and there should be a way
to solve this problem with the GUI. I think this is a major usability
bug.
