#Jason: strange that you say the issue persists, because it seems solved in my case!
When reporting the bug I had on my DELL XPS13(9343) installed UbuntuMATE 15.04. I have now upgrade to UbuntuMATE 15.10 (kernel 4.2.0-16-generic #19-Ubuntu x86_64) and both the external monitor issue and the suspend issue are gone: Using the MiniDisplayport-to-VGA/HDMI adapter (see orig. post) I tested both an external VGA and a HDMI monitor (the latter actually a DVI monitor DELL U2412M connected via a HDMI-to-DVI converter). I tested all 3 Window Managers (Marco, Metacity and Compiz). And every time I also tried suspend. In all 6 combinations both internal + external monitor and suspend worked! There was one glitch, though. Sometimes, when using MATE Tweak to switch from compiz to metacity the screen freezes. Mouse pointer is visible, but nothing can be clicked. I can do CTRL-ALT-F2 and login, and e.g. kill Xorg, and it continues. However, this is not reproducible at will, but I have observed it several times when playing around with the window managers. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1458327 Title: Compiz on Ubuntu Mate 15.04 fails on DELL XPS 13 (9343) with external monitor To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1458327/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
