Hi, I encounter this bug too, on a Sony Vaio BZ11XN (Intel GMA X4500MDH). more info (lspci, dmesg, uname, xorg.conf, Xorg.0.log*) @ http://deep-ocean.net/files/sony/
To work around the problem, I had to delete ~/.gconf/apps/gnome_settings_daemon/xrandr/ and reboot the machine from SSH. Impossible to get a working screen, even with restarting GDM or killing X manually. No return to VTs possible after the black screen. For now, i've forgotten to use an external monitor. The only thing that works is Clone mode : without touching the configuration, X seems to be in clone mode ; un-setting “mirror screens” to this setup with gnome resolution app and setting a different resolution on external monitor (1280x1024) does nothing, and any other changes (rotating screen) results in a ssh-reboot-needed-black-screen. If you can't debug this problem with Traumflug, i will help. If you can, I'll be happy to stay on other bugs ;-) Regards, -- [82G33/G31] Changing screen resolution results in a black screen https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/258584 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
