[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 776978] Re: everything on screen is garbled apart from the top bar (2 monitors, different resolutions, unity, natty)
I have found a workaround that enables me to use the external display at work. It works if I plug it in after I log in to Ubuntu classic with no effects. If it is plugged in during startup, the screen on the laptop will be blank and only the wallpaper is shown on the external display. I can perform the login, but only because I know how to do it (the login dialog is not visible). After that the desktop is shown on the external monitor, but everything I try to open wil not show, because it starts on the laptop screen and I will have to rightclick it on the taskbar to be able to move it to the external display. I have had no luck, when trying to use the workaround logging in to Unity. Can anyone tell me, when this issue will be fixed? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776978 Title: everything on screen is garbled apart from the top bar (2 monitors, different resolutions, unity, natty) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/776978/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

In case it has some significance. When booting with the external monitor connected via HDMI I can get the login screen to show on the external monitor, though the resolution is very low. After login, the monitor turns black showing only the mouse pointer (the resolution seems right after login judging by the look of the mouse pointer). In some cases, the login screen doesn't show, but the background shows up and is covered with the correct wallpaper in what seems to be the correct resolution. This however, is not very amusing, when the ability to log in is missing. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776978 Title: everything on screen is garbled apart from the top bar (2 monitors, different resolutions, unity, natty) ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Same problem after installing 11.04 on Lenovo U160. As soon as i plug in the HDMI cable (or VGA) everything goes black. Mouse pointer visible on external display, and sometimes also the top bar. Nothing is clickable though... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776978 Title: everything on screen is garbled apart from the top bar (2 monitors, different resolutions, unity, natty) ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
