I confirm this problem with Dell Latitude D420 after upgrading to 9.10 I have it connected to an external display 1680x1050 (AOC 2216a) When I set them mirrored I cannot set higher resolution; When they are unmirrored after setting external display resolution screen gets dark with activer mouse pointer. After some time system stops to respond all together. I didn't have this issue with 9.04.
