Bug Description

I just got a slimport HDMI adaptor, but whenever I insert it the phone screen gets black and shortly afterwards unity8 crashes. The external monitor remains black.

The crash is https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/7d378a56-5c95-11e5-b10a-fa163e339c81

A crash also happens when I disconnect the cable.

Also, if I boot the phone with the external monitor connected, nothing appears in the external monitor and the lock screen on the phone is shown partially out of the screen, and the bottom part of the screen is just black.

it's not a precise duplicate - but this is being solved by an effort to land our multimonitor branch that's in silo 0 (or similar to silo0) currently. see https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1496069
