Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Dell E6510 with an Intel Core i5 chip and with the Intel graphics (not nvidia). According to the Dell website, the Intel chip is: Intel QM57/QS57 NB Gfx - Intel GMA HD Vanilla install of Ubuntu 10.04 (I tried it with 32bit and 64bit versions) with all patches applied (up to date as of posting). Upon plugging in an external monitor using the VGA adapter and then going into System->Preferences->Monitors, I get a black screen and no mouse movements at all. System is completely hung - I cannot even SSH into the laptop. Even CTRL+ALT+BKSP doesn't kick me out of X. I'm forced to power off the laptop and restart. System has latest A03 bios but it did the same thing with A01 and A01.1 bios revisions ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 Package: xorg 1:7.5+5ubuntu1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-22.36-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 Uname: Linux 2.6.32-22-generic x86_64 Architecture: amd64 Date: Fri Jun 18 16:27:11 2010 DkmsStatus: Error: [Errno 2] No such file or directory GdmLog2: InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS "Lucid Lynx" - Release amd64 (20100429) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c:5800 Broadcom Corp.
