>If I plug in an external HDMI monitor (FHD) either into either HDMI port (there's one on the machine and there's one available via a usb 3.1 extra adaptor) then the whole system hangs, completely unresponsive and needing a hard reboot. Before hanging the 2nd display gets an image as expected, but the laptop's screen flashes randomly, sometimes you see weird artifacts. Then the hang comes.
Exactly the same happens on my laptop HP ProBook 640 G2 with Intel driver. In addition trying to switch tty with ctrl+alt+f{1,7} does not work either. Hard reboot only helps. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1559308 Title: Plugging HDMI screen in causes system hang To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg/+bug/1559308/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
