Bruce, thanks for all the info. I will do some more testing today. One clarification though: when I get in the black screen + mouse pointer situation, my machine is not hung. In fact the mouse pointer is still responsive, I can log in via network, etc. It just that I lose the X root background, WM stuff, etc.
Also I believe I did see similar problems with classic, although I need to double check the "no effects" part. I definitely have seen it from the GDM screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745112 Title: [arrandale] desktop is messed up (goes black) when laptop is docked with two external 1920x1200 monitors (x86_64) _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
