[Bug 1341106] [NEW] System hangs after connecting or disconnecting external monitor

 

Public bug reported:

Each time I connect or disconnect the external monitor my ubuntu system
will hang and a Hard reboot is necessary. Only way I manage to have the
external monitor working is to plug it before booting. Which gets quite
annoying after a while.

I had the exact same problem already with ubuntu 12.04 and was hoping
the upgrade of the system to last release 14.04 would solve it. Although
it did not. I am using  a vaio vgn-sr19xn with Intel Graphics Media
Accelerator (GMA) 4500MHD. The external monitor is a Samsung Tv.

In the wiki says it is a known problem, although I was wondering weather there is some fix for this?
Which info do you need from me?
