[Bug 828623] Re: [Regression] gnome control centre does not allow you to disable the laptop screen while leaving an external DisplayPort connected screen working

 

Hi, I just encountered this bug with my setup.

I have a Lenovo X200, and I use a 20" LCD on the VGA port as my main screen usually.
I installed Oneiric Ocelot today, and when I turn off the laptop main screen, my external LCD shows a corrupted image.

I created the file you need, and here is the log. It's strange that it
mentions 1024x768, as my laptop LCD is set at 1280x800, and my external
LCD at 1680x1050.

Is it what you need?

  [Regression] gnome control centre does not allow you to disable the
  laptop screen while leaving an external DisplayPort connected screen
  working

Bug description:
  Lenovo T500 with displayport has a 1920x1200 monitor attached, I use
  the displayport in a similar way to a docking station in that I attach
  the monitor with a displayport to dvi cable, and then expect to be
  able to switch off the laptops internal display, only leaving the
  external monitor working.

  Screen detection works fine, mirrored screen works fine, but disabling
  the internal display and activating the external display just leads to
  the screen going black until the timeout has been reached, whereupon
  it reverts to its previous setting.

  This is a fully updated oneiric install
