[Bug 520046] [NEW] [Karmic] X freezes when attaching external monitor

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

On my laptop, Dell Latitude D430 with an intel 945 graphics card, the X
server freezes when trying to activate an external screen. This problem
is new on Karmic. The problem occurs when booting without external
screen and then plugging in a screen (projector) and switching on,
either via keyboard or the 'Display' utility in the
'System->Preferences' menu.

I collected a batch buffer dump and other debug info following these instructions:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Troubleshooting/Freeze#How%20to%20Get%20a%20Batchbuffer%20Dump%20%28-intel%20only%29
and the file is attached.
