[Bug 442361] [NEW] X displays black screen after plugging in external monitor and launching "Display" from System -> Preferences

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have a Eee 900HA with 945GME integrated graphics. Previously, using a
external monitor was clunky, but it worked. Now if I plug in an external
monitor (for the record, it is 1680x1050) nothing happens, but when I
launch the Display app, the X server crashes or something. I can't use
the virtual ttys by hitting ctrl-alt-f1 and SysRq doesn't work, so I
have to force power off. This may be caused by the new intel drivers, so
I'll add that package to this report also.

This is a fully updated Karmic system. (I used sudo aptitude update &&
sudo aptitude full-upgrade -y)
