Public bug reported: Laptop is blank, external works fine in Unity. I have no problems configuring the monitors using systemsettings in KDE, systemsettings fails however when trying to configure the monitors in Unity, and I have to revert to what I'm stuck with. And of course, I've tried playing with the default display manager in Ubuntu. Help please!
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/700757 and https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video- intel/+bug/745112 might be related. I am using x86_64, my laptop is an ideapad b570, and my external monitor is an older syncmaster that I've used with several distros previously. kernel: 3.0.0-13-generic lshw -c video: *-display description: VGA compatible controller product: 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller vendor: Intel Corporation physical id: 2 bus info: pci@0000:00:02.0 version: 09 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: msi pm vga_controller bus_master cap_list rom configuration: driver=i915 latency=0 resources: irq:42 memory:d0000000-d03fffff memory:c0000000-cfffffff ioport:3000(size=64) The above was filed at http://askubuntu.com/questions/86220/use-of- multiple-monitors-in-kubuntu-but-not-in-ubuntu and then I realized it might be more appropriate to report here.
