Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I am using an up-to-date Karmic Koala. The X server works very fine... until I want to connect an external monitor to my laptop. The scenario of the bug is :
1. I am using the laptop without external monitor -> everything OK
2. I connect an external monitor
3. I start "gnome-display-properties" or "xrandr --verbose"
4. the X server hangs immediately after, the screen becomes mostly black with some parts of the screen still showing a frozen graphical image. I can't do anything, not even go to a console -> hard reboot.

This dual monitor setup used to work fine with Ubuntu intrepid and
jaunty on this laptop.

You will find enclosed the logs of the server when it hangs.
