Please read a duplicate: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/438000
The issue was best summarized by dhenry: "The problem is that "xrandr" and "gnome-display-properties" will systematically setup the external monitor next to the LVDS, without checking if it's possible. Those tools should not do this if hardware does not allow it. The problem is that those tools are not aware that compiz is running (which reduces the hardware limit to 2048x2048), and so try to create the too large frame buffer (which is legal without compiz)." -- [i945gme] attaching external monitor: laptop display is black, external monitor too, with frozen mouse coursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. _______________________________________________ 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
