So I ended up getting more black screens, but they were much more rare. I have been using xrandr --fb 1280x1024 --output VGA --auto --output LVDS --off to turn on the VGA screen and turn off the laptop's screen, and I've been running it with the laptop lid closed.
Now, for two days in a row, I've been leaving the laptop's screen on with just xrandr --fb 1280x1024 --output VGA --auto and I haven't had any black screens or flickering. If I turn off LVDS, it flickers within 5 minutes. When I turn it back on again (with the lid still closed), I never witness any flickering. I'm still using the same version of the PPA driver that I mentioned above. Is there something else I should try, knowing that? Does leaving the internal screen "on" appear to fix or not fix the problem for anyone else? -- VGA-out dies after a while on Eee 1000H https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/257894 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
