[Bug 840974] Re: configuration of external monitor on laptop does not work properly

 

Turn on display debug information by running sudo xdiagnose, clicking
the first checkbox, apply, then reboot.

Now collect dmesg output, then reproduce the problem and collect a
second dmesg.  You want the data that's in the second dmesg but not the
first.

Possibly this bug is related to bug #737891

Title:
  configuration of external monitor on laptop does not work properly

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  During test of Oneiric Beta 1 on my HP-G62 laptop testcase:
  http://testcases.qa.ubuntu.com/Hardware/GFX/ExternalPrimary I have
  this problem on configuration of external attached monitor:

  After powering on my laptop with an external monitor attached, when I
  unclick the duplicate check box and work only with the external
  monitor,  when you try to turn the laptop monitor on again it just
  remains black and only the external one works, can't get it back
  working, it works only if you check the duplicate check box again, but
  you can't switch off the external monitor and work with the laptop one
  if the external one is attached.
