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

 

The problem occurs both using an external monitor (Acer AL1715) attached to my laptop and using only the laptop monitor.
When I try to change resolution from 1366x768 to 800x600 or 1024x768, the screen goes black, after about 20 seconds the screen goes back to the original 1366x768 resolution.
Tha log file attached in #6 was made using my laptops monitor (my laptop is a HP G-62).
Must I send you the same log with the external monitor attached ?

  configuration of external monitor on laptop does not work properly

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.
