[Bug 542603] [NEW] Dual Monitor Blanks Out Suddenly

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I have two days ago attached an external TFT monitor to my HP Compaq
nx6115 notebook. The monitor is Viewsonic VA1912. I set up dual displays
using System->Preferences->Display as a mirror.

I have noticed that the external viewsonic monitor suddenly goes blank
and the display stops working. A message pops up saying "No signal". The
notebook display however, is working fine.

On the two occassions that this has happened, I was using the mouse. In
the first instance, some link in Firefox and in the recent incident, a
mail header in thunderbird.

as Xorg.0.log.old shows there seems to have been some problem with X
(ddxSigGiveup) which made the second monitor go blank.
