[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 419328] Re: [i945gme] attaching external monitor: laptop display is black, external monitor too, with frozen mouse coursor

I just checked with 2.6.31-20-generic, and the problem still occurs with i945gme. (Test run on an HP Mini 110.) Same description: with Compiz on, as soon as I click "Detect Monitors" in the Display Preferences, the screen goes black with the cursor split between the two screens. Reboot is the on

I'll add a "me, too." HP Mini 110 (Intel 945GME) freezes (as in, I have to reboot) under these conditions: 1) I begin displaying to an external monitor in the Display Preferences, 2) while running Compiz. Both screens go black, and the circular "busy" icon is split between the two screens. This
