--Can someone please confirm that disabling compiz (or mutter, or anything other than metacity) makes the --problem go away?
For me it works better without compiz, but... Activating the external screen with my self-configured hotkey does not work the first time after reboot (false resolution or black screen with movable mouse), i have to press it twice, but after that i can connect / disconnect my external screen, change resolution etc. without any problems. Having desktop effects enabled is similar: depending on the external screen that I connect(!) the system crashes or is just not working after the first try, but can be activated with the second try and after that it is also working flawlessly... -- [i945gme] attaching external monitor: laptop display is black, external monitor too, with frozen mouse coursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419328 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
