Hi Ben Hearsum, Hmm... I'm not sure I totally understand your description of the problem. Could you please elaborate and clarify? You may find it helpful to read "How to report bugs effectively" http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/bugs.html or the Ubuntu-X bug reporting guidelines at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Reporting .
Also, please run apport-collect 888134 after reproducing the bug to attach some logs we usually like to have. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => gnome-desktop (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-desktop in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/888134 Title: automatic detection of plugged in / removed monitor is too aggressive Status in “gnome-desktop” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: I've found that the monitor detection in Ubuntu 11.10 is too aggressive. Sometimes it will get things wrong, and when I try to fix it with the GNOME Control Center, it automatically reverts back to what it thinks is correct. My configuration is as follows: * Nouveau Driver * GDM * Awesome WM The problem occurs with both the VGA and DVI ports. I can use xrandr to make changes without them getting reverted.
