I am also experiencing this issue in Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell D620. All seems to work well when using only the laptop LCD; but I always use dual monitors (extended desktop) at work. Attempting this in Ubuntu 9.10 causes complete lock-up, so I am forced to return to WinXP until this issue is resolved (after working diligently to get Ubuntu to work on a corporate network).
The laptop LCD panel resolution is 1280x1024 and the external Dell LCD monitor resolution is 1280x1024. Although I use Ubuntu at home, I have invested entirely too much time trying to get this to work in my office. Lack of dual-monitor support is a show-stopper for me. Let me know if I can provide any additional information to assist in resolving this issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated! -- Setting up dual-head of exactly 2048 pixels wide ends up with a black screen.
