Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
I have a dual screen setup: * Dell Latitude's D820 own screen (1680x1050) * a LG secondary monitor (1280x1024) To enable dual screen, I had to add SubSection "Display" Virtual 2960 1065 EndSubSection in Section "Screen" of /etc/X11/xorg.conf (this was added automatically by the "Display" applet). I just ran a dist-upgrade which brought a new kernel: Linux lethe 2.6.30-7-generic #8-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 25 13:53:42 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux and a new xserver-xorg-video-intel: gri...@lethe:~$ apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel xserver-xorg-video-intel: 2:2.7.99.1+git20090602.ec2fde7c-0ubuntu1 I rebooted the system, and after the system started I was left with a blank background and a working mouse pointer (by working I mean I can move it around and between the screens). I Alt+Ctlr+F2'd and tried a few times to restart gdm but found the same result. I removed the Subsection I mentioned above from xorg.conf and restarted gdm again. This time the menu and task-bar have loaded, but the screens are mirrored. I proceeded to setting them as separate screens in the "Display" applet (from System->Preferences). I was notified that the "Virtual" line was going to be added to xorg.conf and that I should log out and in again, which I did. Unfortunately I had the same blank screen with functional mouse pointer. I mention that I do not have Desktop Effects enabled as they are not supported in combination with the "Virtual" line in xorg.conf for my card: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03) ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Wed Jun 3 23:21:33 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 MachineType: Dell Inc.
