[Bug 758785] Re: [arrandale] Display flickers or blank on login (x86_64)

 

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: x11-xserver-utils
  
  I upgraded my system from Maverick to Natty Beta. I take daily updates
  every day.
  
  Since then, When you boot the system, with the external monitor
  attached, the external display flickers badly and the screen is
  unreadable.  I hit <FN> - <F7> (Monitor Toggle) on my Thinkpad X201 to
  reset the display, and then I see the login screen correctly, on both
  internal, and external.
  
  After I log in, the same thing happens, screen flikers and unreadable on
  external monitor. I hit <FN> <F7> again, and I get the 800x1024 default
  screen, which I then have to use 'Monitors' to increase the Resolution
  to the mode I like on my external monitor.
  
  This happens everytime I boot or login.
