[Bug 570011] [NEW] Modesetting fails if large screen monitor attached at boot

 

You have been subscribed to a public bug:

I have a Thinkpad T60. If I boot from the RC1 live CD, graphical
modesetting seems to work well if the external monitor is not connected
at boot time. If I then plug in the monitor, I can then switch to a new
resolution (1920x1080) from the old resolution (1400x1050). Switching
back and forth multiple times seems to work well, in the 10 minutes I've
been playing with the system.

However, if I boot with the monitor connected, then the resolution is
set to 1024x768 on both screens, and when I try to set the resolution to
something more useful, eventually the entire screen starts flickering
with weird horizontal lines on the laptop's monitor, and the external
monitor display wiggles around rapidly. The display is not usable under
such circumstances. External monitor: Dell S2409W

Apparent workaround: boot with monitor disconnected, and then after
logging in, connect the external monitor.
