I am also experiencing this issue in Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell D620. All seems to work well when using only the laptop LCD; but I always use dual monitors (extended desktop) at work. Attempting this in Ubuntu 9.10 causes complete lock-up, so I am forced to return to WinXP until this issue is resolved

One more thing: the problem does not exist when I turn Compiz off. Without Compiz, I can run the second screen at up to 1152x864 (see #486072) to the right of the LCD. The attached screenshot shows the external screen running at 1024x768, with the framebuffer width that doesn't work with Compiz. *

This is the result. Note X didn't crash, but the leftmost column of pixels show what appears to be the rightmost edge of the original LCD (1024x600) desktop. Also note (missing from previous attachment) the external monitor (an IBM A70) is not being properly identified (see #486072) ** Attachment
