I'm seeing this too on an EeePC 900 with an intel i915 card. The problem is reproducible every time (just doing something like xranr --auto with the external monitor plugged in triggers it for me). Interestingly if I use a 2.6.32-rc kernel then I am still able to switch VTs (which I am not able to do with a 2.6.31 kernel) but dmesg is filled with the following:
[drm:i915_gem_execbuffer] *ERROR* Execbuf while wedged >From then on Xorg will not display a picture even if gdm is restarted. -- [Karmic] X freezes when using compiz on external monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/441873 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-intel in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ 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
