After yet another, update, it has reverted and more: it's now worse than ever. It's back to completely unusable external monitor. If I boot with it plugged in, I get multicolor flashing screen / unusable. If I plug it in after logging, the screen goes black and useless. If I unplug it to recover, I get a black responseless screen with an arrow cursor. I cannot recover and must reboot. Even if I log in with Classic, no effects, I get flashing junk screen if I plug in an external monitor. I'm back to early 1990s functionality now under the latest Natty updates. (Very very discouraged)
This reversion may be the result of multiple bugs, since the window behaviour in compiz is messed up as is recognition of a external monitor hardware. Anyway, for a while things were definitely a bit better. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/776565 Title: compiz no longer able to drive my external monitor on upgrade to 11.04; does not recover To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/776565/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
