I'm also having the same problem on a asus eeepc 1000h with ubuntu 9.10 . When connecting an external monitor the system freezes, not even when I remove the monitor again the system resumes. I have to restart the computer. If the monitor is attached to the eeepc when booting it is detected and used. The resolution on the eeepc lcd gets set to 640x480 though. If I try to change the resolution on the eeepc lcd the system hangs again.
Following the advice from supojc and nick and removing all compiz- related solved the problem. -- karmic gnome-display-properties hangs for external monitor mode 1280x1024 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/445100 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
