Thank you for reporting this problem. Could you try and run this command in a terminal before you plug in the external monitor and upload the resulting file (udevadm.log) here (after you reboot)?
udevadm monitor --property > ~/udevadm.log Hopefully, there will be some clue to what is going on in this file. -- [arrandale] Dell Latitude E6510 unable to use second external vga monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/596082 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
