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

 

apport information

** Tags added: apport-collected

** Description changed:

  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.
