Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I simply try to connect my monitor to a projector and the display freezes.  I can cycle through different display modes by pressing Fn+F8.  
When my native screen is back, I tried to enable "Same image on all monitors" in the "Monitors" configuration app.  It resulted in the same problem, I could not use either monitor.
Finally, I was able to use Fn+F8 to show on the projector only, but the screen was tinted yellow.  I confirmed it was not a hardware problem by attaching the projector to another computer.  I also checked if the cable was loose, which can cause color problems.  I believe the color had something to do with this multi-monitor issue.

During the switching, compiz crashed.

This is a regression from maverick.  I was able to use a projector in
the previous release.
