@Omer: Closing this bug prematurely is *almost* enough to convince me to switch back to Debian. Please don't do that; you've assumed that a duplicate will be created; you've assumed that this failure *does* generate a crash report (it does not, at least for me, with the apport setting enabled), and you've insulted all of us by insinuating that our time is less valuable than yours.
As Anderic pointed out; this is trivial to reproduce - every user I know with Intel video (~6 people that I'm aware of) have given up and switched back to classic mode or other distros because of this bug. Most thinkpads have this problem, and it's easy to see the visual glitches by plugging in a monitor. In my experience, it does not *always* cause the machine to crash irrevocably - I've spent the last 30-45 min trying to get a crash file without success (it only went unresponsive once, and I was able to get to a VT to restart cleanly). I've attached some screenshots that show the visual glitches I'm experiencing, at two different monitor orientations. ** Attachment added: "multi-head visual glitches" https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/779681/+attachment/2161038/+files/unity-screens-1.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/779681 Title: Unity fails and crashes X when second display connected -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
