Title:
attaching an external monitor to a laptop makes the image bad
Status in metacity package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
If you attach an external monitor to a laptop while Ubuntu is running,
always makes the image of the screen look bad on both the internal and
the external monitor. I have two command attached to keyboard
shortcuts which sometimes can make the computer usable again, if you
switch back and forth between the internal and external monitor with:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --off --output VGA1 --auto #switch on the internal
monitor, external off
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --output VGA1 --off #external on, internal off
The success seem to depend on what programs are running at the moment
of running those commands. If you only have a terminal opened it goes
fine, but with Libreoffice and Firefox you need to restart Ubuntu.
Attached are three screenshots which all show the screen looks like
when the external monitor is attached.
Ubuntu 11.04
