I tried both suggestions: 1) Plugging in the cable after switching to VT1: the system freezes and the screen goes black, even without switching back to X 2) Plugging in the cable, running `sleep 30; xrandr -q` and then switching to VT1: screen goes black almost immediately, before the 30 seconds are over.
I guess that's not very helpful, either. I'll try the Netconsole thing this weekend when I have access to my second machine. -- [arrandale] VGA port not working on Dell Latitude E6510 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/607783 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
