The reported problem has not been resolved in the current (9.10) version of Ubuntu.
I have also tested this in Ubuntu 10.04 and the issue has gotten worse. When plugging in the VGA cable before opening the lid, X tries to automatically switch the monitor and ends up looping between LVDS and VGA without ending. I am requesting that lid action (open/close) does not change screen configuration. The only method a user should be allowed to change screen configuration is manually (xrandr, Display Properties, Fn-8 monitor- related function key). ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Confirmed -- [i945] [i945gme] [Karmic Beta] Dell Mini Inspiron 910 Mini9 - Closing lid changes X workspace when external monitor present https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447738 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
