I have the same problem with my machine (also an intel video card). One way around the freezing behaviour is to turn off compiz before you open up the display properties box. Alt+F2 and
metacity --replace beforehand. Then plug in your monitor, configure, apply and run compiz --replace afterwards. Of course, it seems like this run of the intel drivers doesn't get EDID info correctly, so you might not even be able to configure the external monitor the way you want, but there it is. -- [Karmic] Sony Vaio VGN-C260E laptop freezes when external monitor is plugged in https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462393 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
