** Description changed:
On my Dell Vostro 3550, from 11.10 through 14.04 When connecting to an
external monitor to extend my desktop the display settings are unstable.
Sometimes the chosen settings do not take. If they do apply, and I
confirm that I want to keep the settings, at random
So far, it seems that disabling JUST id=8 works fine. If both are
enabled, the original problems remain (as expected). If I only disable
id=7, problems are the same.
I will test this a few more days to confirm further. It would be very
good if Lee Willis can reproduce this and confirm also.

I have found that Dell WMI hotkeys id=17 [slave keyboard (3)] doesn't
need disabling. Even more, if disabled, login fails when no external
monitor is connected.
I will try if disabling only id=8/id=7 is enogh for workaround and I'll
report back.

Lee Willis / Goran Obal, just to clarify the WORKAROUND, do you have to xinput
disable all three of the following, or could you do 1-2 of them and it still
works:
↳ Video Bus id=8 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Video Bus id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
↳ Dell WMI hotkeys id=17 [slave keyboard (3)]
