[Bug 1301414] Re: Ubuntu thinks I have three displays connected - I have only two.

 

Tommy_CZ, as per http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-
netbooks/ideapad-z-series-laptops/ideapad-z580 an update to your
computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (5FCN95WW). 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, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status New.
Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

Title:
  Ubuntu thinks I have three displays connected - I have only two.

Status in xserver-xorg-video-nouveau package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I was curious why my cursor flickers... and I opened settings of displays and realised Ubuntu thought I had 3 displays connected (1 external - OK, 1 built-in in the laptop - OK, 1 small with 1024x768 - WHAT??, it is marked as "unknown display")
  When I disable it, the flickering of cursor stops.
