Hey Sebastien, Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty? If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty and run the command: apport-collect which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.) ** Changed in: xorg-server (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/705418 Title: frequent x crashing when connecting external video -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Ok, I tried that too, I am now running 2.6.36-020636-generic and it indeed fixes the bug: no more unexpected crash when configuring display.

Using kernel 2.6.36 for maverick from the kernel ppa (http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.36-maverick/) has allowed me to use xrandr to switch displays without the crash. The kernel does not seem to work for iphone tethering though, so I have to choose between stable X or tethering. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/705418 Title: frequent x crashing when connecting external video -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This seems to be an issue specific to DELL with Intell GPUs. I have found several similar bugs that share these, although for 10.04 release. Apparently, still there.

Hello, The bugbot added the 'xubuntu' tag, I assume because it found that information in the attached files. FYI, I did install at first xubuntu, but I quickcly switched over to ubuntu, by installing ubuntu-desktop (or similar name package, can't remember) So I guarantee that I am now using a regular 10.10 ubuntu, gnome-flavor. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/705418 Title: frequent x crashing when connecting external video -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Additional information (20110121) - I am now able to reproduce the bug, by the following steps: 1 - turn on machine and log in, with VGA connector of additional screen or projector unplugged 2 - connect the screen (tried today with a LCD DELL 22') 3 - click on the "screens" icon in the Gnome toolbar (the one that brings up the screens configuration dialog) => crash, unrecoverable black screen I have tried to use "apport" to bring up more information (starting it, then do the crash sequence), but as the machine crashes, I can't get the dialog described on: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Apport And, AFAIK, this page does not explain where the corresponding log file lives.
