I am also experiencing this issue in Ubuntu 9.10 on a Dell D620.  All
seems to work well when using only the laptop LCD but I always use dual
monitors (extended desktop) at work. Attempting this in Ubuntu 9.10
causes complete lock-up, so I am forced to return to WinXP until this
issue is resolved (after working diligently to get Ubuntu to work on a
corporate network).

The laptop LCD panel resolution is 1280x1024 and the external Dell LCD
monitor resolution is 1280x1024. It seems that setting a desktop with
total width greater than 2048 pixels causes this lockup according to Bug
#486056 and it seems that this bug (#480891) is very possibly the root
cause. Although I use Ubuntu at home, I have invested entirely too much
time trying to get this to work in my office. Lack of dual-monitor
support is a show-stopper for me so please consider correcting this
problem in Karmic rather than waiting for Lucid.

Let me know if I can provide any information to assist in resolving this
issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
