Title:
  Dual Monitor Freeze after changing Display Settings in ubuntu 12.04

Status in X.Org X server:
  Fix Released
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I had 11.10 64bit, I upgraded to 12.04

  if I change the settings in the Display it will freeze .
  -  if I move the external monitor  to the left of laptop monitor , (or above it) it will freeze
   - if I try to turn of the laptop monitor ,so I only have my external monitor it will freeze again.

  the mouse wont move and I have to reset the computer by ALT PRINT K to
  come back to ubuntu

  dual monitor used to work fine in ubuntu 11.10 , is there any way to downgrade the Display program to the one in 11.10 ?
