[Bug 486056] Re: Setting up dual-head of exactly 2048 pixels wide ends up with a black screen. Setting it up with more than 2048 pixels crashes X

 

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. 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.

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