Title: External monitor not found when connected a second time Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The second time an external monitor is plugged in during the same session, it is not automatically found. Steps to reproduce: * Connect a screen to the laptop with a HDMI cable. Make sure it shows up as an extensions of the current screen (not mirroring it) * Disconnect the screen * Connect it again (without rebooting the computer) * This time, the screen will not be found Workaround: 1. Open settings/displays, and the screen will be identified. You don't have to press ”apply” or anything, just opening the settings is enough. 2. Reboot the computer before attaching the external monitor the second time Occurs in: Ubuntu 13.10 and Ubuntu 13.04 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1302406/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
