FYI I'm having the same bug with my Acer Aspire One D150. If I plug in the external monitor, hit "detect monitors", both screens goes black, and the netbook freezes. If I turn on the netbook with the external monitor plugged in, both monitors works mirrored, and at 800x600. If I try to change any monitor preference (like position or size), the netbook freezes.
I then tried disabling desktop effects (i.e. no compiz), and everything worked perfectly, at the maximun resolution (netbook at 1024x600, external LCD at 1680x1050) HTH. -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
