I can confirm this behavior running on an Aspire One (Intel Corporation Mobile 945GME Express Integrated Graphics Controller) with xserver-xorg- video-intel 2:2.9.0-1ubuntu1 and compiz 1:0.8.3+git20091005-0ubuntu5.
As mentioned above, disabling compiz allows me to get into the screen configuration dialog, though the "detect monitors" button doesn't seem to work after this. -- [i945gme] attaching external monitor: laptop display is black, external monitor too, with frozen mouse coursor https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/419328 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is the registrant for xf86-video-intel. _______________________________________________ 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
