Title:
  Second display stops working on repeated detection

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  The first time a secondary display/projector is connected to my
  laptop, it is detected and works in mirrored mode. However, once I
  open System Settings > Displays, the seconday display gets disabled.
  Loging out and rebooting doesn't solve the problem. At least not right
  away. A few reboots later secondary display starts working again.
  Occasioally I'm able to use Fn+F4 to switch between different modes
  (mirrored, extended), but it usually doesn't last long. As soon as
  System Settings is activated, the secondary display is disable and no
  longer detected.

  Additional clues:
  1) If I leave a display plugged in and reboot, it is activated on login screen, but shuts off as soon as I login. Pressing 'Detect Displays' button is Displays settings does not bring it back.

  2)
  Every time I open System Settings (even without external displayed plugged in) there is a short lag and even the moust stops moving for about a second. The following shows up in the log:

  3)
  Some plugging and unplugging of the display occasionally shows the same messages in the log followed by the following:
