Title:
  Change of screen resolution results in grafik disruption

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I use a Thinkpad R500 (2731-A11) with an external screen attached to the docking station. In about 1 out of 5 cases I get graphic disruption on the internal screen when I change the screen resolution (using arandr) for the external screen to the native resolution 1920x1200. It looks like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwPGBCJqqvE&feature=youtu.be
  Note that the external screen is not affected by this. Sometimes this also occurs when I boot the system just before the graphical login manager should appear.
  I also noticed that it is possible to regain the internal screen with "echo mid | sudo tee /sys/class/drm/card0/device/power_profile" from the terminal. While the screen is visible now this results in a ghost image and I have to reboot to fix this.
