[Bug 749817] Re: natty regression: screen goes black when external monitor is connected

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected compiz-0.9

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: xorg
  
  I have a Thinkpad X201 connected through it's docking station/ultrabase
  to a Dell 2709W monitor.  This was working fine under Maverick; normally
  with the internal monitor off but also with them mirrored or side-by-
  side.
  
  I just upgraded this machine to natty.  It booted up and showed grub on
  the external monitor ok, the loading screen, and then the gdm login
  screen.  After I log in, I get a black screen on both the internal and
  external monitors, with just a white mouse pointer visible.  The mouse
  pointer moves when I move the mouse.  Nothing else appears; there's no
  disk light.  I switched to vt1, which worked.  Nothing was using
  substantial cpu.  I kill-9ed gnome-session, which took me back to the
  gdm login screen.  I tried the other session options including Ubuntu
  classic (no effects) with no more success.
  
  When I undocked the laptop it worked ok, including running Unity.
  
  (I hit bug 749809 while filing this so the apport data might be
  incomplete.)
