Title:
  System crashes or auto-reboots only when more than 1 monitor is
  enabled.

Status in xorg package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  UPDATE: Read submitter's latest post first.

  After the upgrade, the computer crashed at the login screen where it
  froze. I could not switch to a VT, login via SSH, or safer reboot via
  the magic keys: RESIUB.

  Anyway - after a hard reboot, I noticed the graphics setup had
  changed. It was obvious because of the way the 22" handles resolutions
  or signals it doesn't like. It's cloning the only resolution it has
  made available: 1280x1024.

  At some point after upgrade to 14.04 and before my second attempt to
  run Xorg, the original xorg.conf file was renamed (and not replaced)
  with the date added on the end. I replaced it with the original xorg
  and eventually tired different things to fix it by commenting certain
  lines.

  The second run of Xorg: The graphic output looked the same with cloned
  1280x1024. I noticed that even though I restored my xorg.conf file, it
  proceeded to unload radeon driver and then load and use FBDEV with
  LLVM pipe. Yay? Nope, I use folding@home so the CPU cores are too busy
  for OpenGL. Having and not having xorg.conf present seems to not have
  an effect on the resutlts. :(

  The output of xrandr is:

  <QUOTE>
  xrandr: Failed to get size of gamma for output default
  Screen 0: minimum 1280 x 1024, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1024
  default connected 1280x1024+0+0 0mm x 0mm
     1280x1024      77.0*
  </QUOTE>

  I see no obvious reason from the log files why radeon was unloaded and
  not used for this card which is on the supported list still. Any
  ideas?

  Thanks much.
