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

 

** Description changed:

  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)
