[Bug 419328] Re: [i945gme] attaching external monitor: laptop display is black, external monitor too, with frozen mouse coursor

 

--Can someone please confirm that disabling compiz (or mutter, or
anything other than metacity) makes the --problem go away?

For me it works better without compiz, but...
Activating the external screen with my self-configured hotkey does not work the first time after reboot (false resolution or black screen with movable mouse), i have to press it twice, but after that i can connect / disconnect my external screen, change resolution etc. without any problems.

Having desktop effects enabled is similar: depending on the external
screen that I connect(!) the system crashes or is just not working after
the first try, but can be activated with the second try and after that
it is also working flawlessly...
