[Bug 745112] Re: [arrandale] desktop is messed up (goes black) when laptop is docked with two external 1920x1200 monitors (x86_64)

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: unity
  
  (I'm not sure where in the stack this problem really is, so I'm guessing
  and picking on unity)
  
  I have a Lenovo T410s laptop with Intel graphics and I use it with a
  dock with two 1920x1200 monitors connected.  I'm running up-to-date
  Natty.  If I boot the laptop with it already docked, everything works
  perfectly: the two external monitors are used and I get a nice unity
  desktop spanning my 3840x1200 space.
  
  However, if I boot with the laptop undocked, log in, and then dock the
  laptop, it breaks pretty badly.  Only one monitor is lit up, and I just
  get a black screen with a mouse pointer there -- no desktop background,
  windows, toolbars, or anything.  Once it's in this state, it doesn't
  seem possible to recover -- if I undock the laptop again, the internal
  screen just stays black with a pointer.
  
  When the laptop is in a working state, undocking it sort of works... the
  desktop switches to the laptop screen, but then redocking it acts just
  like docking as described above.
