[Bug 662347] [NEW] multiple monitor config issue. Worked 10.04. Prob 10.10

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

Hi, thanks for looking at this.

My laptop offers a HDMI port that I've used to add a 2nd monitor.

After upgrading to 10.10, multiple monitors stopped working.  The gnome-
display-properties program kept giving an error "Please log out and log
back in again" when adjusting the monitor sizes.

I was able to turn both resolutions down to 640x480 and get it to work.

After that, I kept getting the error trying to turn up the laptop
monitor.  Disabling the external monitor bypassed this error.

After upping the resolution of the laptop monitor, I reenabled the 2nd
monitor.  I got the same error when trying to place the 2nd monitor to
the left.  I was able to place it below the lcd monitor.

Anyways, bit of trouble.  Thanks for looking at this, let me know if I
can help.

Cheers,

Mike
