I just checked with 2.6.31-20-generic, and the problem still occurs with i945gme. (Test run on an HP Mini 110.) Same description: with Compiz on, as soon as I click "Detect Monitors" in the Display Preferences, the screen goes black with the cursor split between the two screens. Reboot is the only way out.
I still have to start Metacity temporarily when I connect the monitor or run the xrandr command directly to place the external monitor logically below the netbook's display. -- [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
