Wim Symons, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com /daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc6 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Tags added: bios-outdated-a15 ** Summary changed: - 2nd monitor flickers since kernel 3.5.0-19 + [Dell Precision M4600] 2nd monitor flickers since kernel 3.5.0-19 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1157144 Title: [Dell Precision M4600] 2nd monitor flickers since kernel 3.5.0-19 Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: My 2nd monitor (a Samsung SyncMaster 930BF) worked perfectly up to kernel 3.5.0.19-generic. Starting from 3.5.0-21-generic up to now (3.5.0-32-generic) the display is not usable. It just flickers very rapidly, making it impossible to work with. I tried to use xrandr to set a lower display rate, or even to supply a custom modeline. Nothing works. So now I just froze my kernel to 3.5.0-19 in the grub configuration, but I don't like it because I miss out on security updates.
