Title:
  gnome-appearance-properties can't load 3D driver after external
  monitor was attached to laptop

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubuntu-desktop

  I just connected a new monitor to my laptop as a secondary screen to
  check if it has no dead pixels. I then used gnome-display-properties
  to configure a multi-monitor setup where the external monitor is a
  bigger (higher resolution) extension of my notebook screen. gnome-
  display-properties said that it has to create a xorg.conf when I press
  apply and that i need to logoff and login again. After that it works
  as expected.

  The problem is that from then on compiz is deactivated (I suppose this
  because my GPU isn't powerful enough to drive the virtual screen that
  gnome-display-properties configures in my xorg.conf) and stays
  deactivated, even if I disconnect the other screen and remove it's
  configuration in gnome-display-properties.

  The actual bug is that when I now try to reactivate compiz in gnome-
  appearance-properties it just tells me that it can't initialize the
  driver. There is absolutely no hint as how this problem can be solved
  or even what the problem is. I could solve this problem by deleting my
  xorg.conf but most users would get stuck here and there should be a
  way to solve this problem with the GUI. I think this is a major
  usability bug.
