Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel
I'm running Karmic, 9.10, on a Sony Vaio VGN-C260E laptop, using an
Intel driver (see lspci output below). My computer is completely
freezing under two circumstances:
1. I connect an external monitor after the laptop is already booted up
2. If I boot the laptop with an external monitor attached, it works
properly (output is to external monitor, not to laptop display).
However, if I attempt to switch between the external monitor and laptop
display using the Fn-F7 hotkey, it will switch to displaying on both
displays. If I hit Fn-F7 again the laptop freezes. No
ctrl+alt+backspace/esc/delete/Fxx does anything. I have to hard power
down
Note -- if I properly turn off the external monitor (using system-
preferences-display), I can disconnect it just fine and use the laptop
display. If I then attempt to plug in a DIFFERENT external monitor, I
get the same behavior as in 1.
>From reading around, it looks as though this is related to the xserver-
xorg-video-intel package, and that people have had similar experiences.
I list this as a new bug because it seems I'm having slightly different
behavior, and with different hardware.
