I reoponed the bug, the problem is still there. When booting with external monitor attached, I get a black screen just when X starts (I don't even see the login screen). Ctrl-Alt-1 gives me a prompt but Ctrl-Alt-7 just gives me a black screen.
When attaching an external monitor to an already running system all is fine and I get my desktop on both external and internal monitor. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu) Status: Fix Released => New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/734756 Title: Blank screen when booting with external monitor -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
