["Christopher M. Penalver" <christopher.m.penalver@xxxxxxxxx>]

Arlen, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg 1403228

Please ensure you have xdiagnose installed, and that you click the Yes
button for attaching additional debugging information.

As well, given the information from the prior release is already
available, testing a release prior to the development one would not be
helpful.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  unable to connect external monitor

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When connecting a BenQ T905 through HDMI with a resolution of around
  1280x1020, the mouse starts wobling back and forth 4-5 times a second.
  Checking the log, it seems like the system cant decide on a correct
  resolution and changing it back and forth between different
  resolutions 4-5 times a second.

  There exists similar bugs for Ubuntu 14.04 based distros (Linux Mint 17),
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1332895 
  and reading there it seems its a problem with something not supporting lower than average external monitor resolutions. My main screen is 1366x768.

  And if you scroll to the bottom of XorgLog.txt, it's actually changing
  the refresh rate of the external monitor between 60 and 76 4-5 times a
  second.
