[Bug 932640] Re: Display preferences app no longer detects external monitor after today's update

 

That version has reached EOL since a while, so it will not receive
update. If that issue still exist, report again using ubuntu-bug.

Title:
  Display preferences app no longer detects external monitor after
  today's update

Status in compiz package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Before today's update, I could use an exernal monitor plugged into the
  mini display port (intel card) of my Inspiron xps 15z.  Now after
  today's update the display preferences applet doesn't detect the
  external monitor and clicking on Detect Displays doesn't help.  I
  tried rebooting on the previous (3.0.0-15) kernel version and the
  problem remained so I think its due to a compiz update.

  Here is the list of updated packages from /var/log/apt/history.log:
