I see these same symptoms on my macbook air 5,2. I've tried two different (24" and 23") Dell DVI monitors without success. For me, the external monitor usually goes red when I plug it in the second time. Sometimes this hangs the whole machine, sometimes not. In either case the only way to get the external monitor to work again is to reboot.
I've tried the Xorg edgers PPA with no improvement to this problem. I would love to see a fix for this, everything else works so well with the MBA. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1088547 Title: External display is black after hot plug switching to it on Macbook Air 4,2 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1088547/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ 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
