[Bug 1300914] Re: External screen undetected after first plug

 

Today it happened to me again and after unplugging and replugging the
monitor 10 times it worked!!!

It almost makes me feel it must be a HW issue but: 
 - I'm using two different displayport adapters (DP to VGA at home DP to HDMI at work)  
 - it never ever happened during a powering on (have powered up my laptop at least 20 times after this issue begun)
 - a reboot *always* fixes the problem (have tried it at least 10 times)

Title:
  External screen undetected after first plug

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Ubuntu 14.04, the external screen plugged on VGA is detected and get activated correctly.
  However, if I unplug it and then replug it later, it is not detected anymore and the screen receives no signal.

  A way to get it back to work is to reboot or simply suspend the
  computer.

  Sorry but I have no idea of what package is handling that.
