This just started happening on my machine within the past day. On Intrepid x86_64 with some ATI integrated card, when X starts while my laptop is connected to my TV (with s-video), the laptop freezes, leaving me with a solid black screen.
If I boot without the tv connected, then use amdcccle to clone my desktop to the tv, it works. After doing that, I use the same tool to change my resolution, which changes the resolution and freezes (but the desktop does not adapt to that resolution as it used to). -- [intrepid] System freezes when running xrandr with an external monitor plugged - Thinkpad T42 - radeon https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/270646 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
