[Bug 622420] [NEW] Unpluging external screen, in a dual screen setup, causes X to lock up

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have a ThinkPad X201 with Arrandale graphics.  When I plug in an
external screen via the docking station DisplayPort or directly to the
laptop (undocked) via the VGA port, I can manage my dual screen with no
issues at all with one exception.  If I either unplug the external
screen or if I go to gnome-display-properties tool and turn off the
laptop screen.  If I do that, the laptop screen goes black and flickers
(looks like X is trying to recover or something) but nothing happens.
After 20 or so seconds, the system locks up completely.

Please note that this was happening since Alpha 2 of Maverick but I
chose to wait thinking the latest Xorg release will fix this.  I would
like to note that this problem does NOT happen with Lucid so it is an
Intel driver regression.

I am happy to provide any level of help or information you need to fix
this issue
