I've also got this bug. Sony vaio VGN-FW340D: 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 4 Series Chipset Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 07) Ubunto 9.10 Karmic 2.6.31-15-generic-pae #50-Ubuntu SMP Tue Nov 10 16:12:10 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux
It seems that whenver you plug an HDMI cable from TV to computer it completely locks up the computer. No keyboard response, not even the Magic Sysrequest keys work. If the computer is rebooted or started from shutdown with the HDMI cable already plugged in, it works fine. Even if you boot with HDMI cable plugged, after you're done with the HDMI, if you unplug, it will completely lock the computer. I've found the only work-around is placing the computer in standby first, then plug in the HDMI cable, then wake from standby. Works fine. Unplugging the HDMI cable will also completely lock the computer unless you suspend computer first, then unplug HDMI cable, then wake from suspend, again. If there's a fix, I'd appreciate it. -- hdmi not working sony vgn fw230j https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/478693 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
