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

Theodore Vasiloudis, thank you for reporting this and helping make
Ubuntu better. As per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-
and-netbooks/thinkpad-x-series-laptops/thinkpad-x240 an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (2.30). If you update to
this following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it
change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, and the information above is provided, then
please mark this report Status New.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  External screen turns grey or green after some random time.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  As in the title the external screen attached to my laptop through
  Displayport suddenly turns grey and I have to unplug/replug it in
  order to get the environment to appear again.

  This bug started appearing after installing the latest updates
  (2015-04-14) that included linux-headers-3.13.0-49-generic:amd64.

  I have in the past installed the Intel Linux Graphics drivers which
  apparently are now causing some problems with 14.04 so the problem
  could also be caused by that.
