Actually, following Murphy's law, I found the cause minutes after the last post... But, at least I found how to reproduce it :) I use KDE. If I disable compositing (shift+alt+F12), then the second monitor works without being mirrored. With compositing enabled, X crashes, and happens as first reported. On my previous post, the battery was low, so KDE disabled the effects. As a result, I thought it could be related to resolution. But actually, it's related to the desktop effects being enabled or disabled.
Now, the real question: is this a limitation of the intel hardware / driver of not being able to handle dual head with compositing or is this a bug? Could someone using gnome test whether dual head works with compiz (desktop effects) enabled? -- X Crashes when enabling second monitor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/559039 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
