Linux inception 2.6.35-19-generic #28-Ubuntu SMP Sun Aug 29 06:34:38 UTC
2010 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description:    Ubuntu maverick (development branch)
Release:        10.10
Codename:       maverick


I have a second monitor that I connect using the VGA port. Suppose the vga cable is connected to the port when the laptop boots up:
1. The login screen is duplicated on both monitors.  At this point whatever I do on one screen is replicated on the other
2. I removed the  vga cable - now I see only one screen.
3. I logged in - the whole screen goes black with several artifacts.
4. After a hard reboot, I booted up this time WITHOUT connecting the vga port 
5. logged in successfully.
6. successfully able to set up multi-monitor using "Monitor Preferences"

I am attaching the entire "/var/logs" directory

** Affects: xserver-xorg-video-intel (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Undecided
         Status: New

multi-monitor setup in maverick fails if the second monitor is already connected during bootup
