Hi, Bryce, could we coordinate further processing with upstream? I understand everybody has a lot of work to do, so I would like to know you are ready to forward the report and upstream is ready to look into it if I test again. I have tested edgers and especially natty several times only to be ask

Can you confirm that you are still seeing this problem with the natty release? If you are, can you test one more thing please - we are now providing builds of upstream's experimental driver and I'd like to confirm it also affects their code as well before we send this bug upstream. Please install

Thanks; re-testing xorg-edgers is helpful but this is almost certainly a kernel bug. xorg-edgers doesn't carry kernel updates, so I wouldn't expect it'd solve this. Instead, download and boot a new daily cd, then run 'apport-collect 681054' to update the logs. This is kind of a borderline High/M

No Cobalt, those are maverick logs again, you need to have natty logs from running apport on natty. Otherwise upstream won't look at the bug report since the versions are too old. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video

Hi Cobalt, are you still reproducing this bug on latest natty? If so, like I mentioned I think the next step is to forward it upstream. Now that natty has been updated to the latest kernel and X bits, we can do this. Can you again run apport-collect 681054 to put the new logs onto the bug report

Another useful thing to try would be to see if disabling the phantom output makes things better. To do that you would need to access the grub menu and add “video=VGA1:d” (if your monitor is not connected via a VGA cable) to the end of the kernel command line. -- You received this bug notificatio

Could you run the command 'apport-collect 681054' while running the xorg-edgers bits? That will attach files with the proper versions, which will allow us to forward this bug report upstream. Since it affects xorg-edgers too, it's likely to be a bug in the upstream code, and they may have more of

It seems that you've got two monitors plugged in - does this problem occur on both monitors simultaneously, both monitors independently, or just one monitor? Does this still happen if you unplug one of the monitors? (I'd start with the VGA monitor, as I think it's more likely to have problems) I
