Current Precise still has this bug. I also tried with the current drm- intel-next kernel from <http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline /drm-intel-next/2012-01-05-precise/> and I had the same problem.
Bug 906086 is about a kernel oops when trying to use the external display. I have not seen that recently, but the description from the upstream suggests it may be intermittent (it's a use-after-free bug.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/745112 Title: [arrandale] desktop is messed up with external monitors (x86_64) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xserver-xorg-video-intel/+bug/745112/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
