[Bug 462765] [NEW] [karmic] Detaching secondary monitor causes very slow X performance

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When I have a second monitor attached, and turn off that monitor in
preferences, everything starts drawing on the screen _very_ slowly
(though X is not frozen). I SSHd into my laptop and ran top to see if
any processes were consuming lots of CPU power, but everything looked
normal there. If I open up TTY1, the performance in X stays crappy, but
if I open up TTY1 _and_ log in there, the performance returns to normal.
