Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

I have an internal laptop display and an external display attached via DVI. Both displays are enabled during boot.

1. Disable laptop display (System -> Settings -> Display), leaving the external display the only one being enabled
2. Switch to another vt -> both displays are activated and show the console
3. Switch back to X -> laptop display is not disabled and still showing the console, while the external display is displaying X

[Problem]
If you disable a display then vt switch to console the display gets re-enabled. Also, vt switching back into X does not re-disable the display.

[Original Report]
I have an internal laptop display and an external display attached via DVI. Both displays are enabled during boot.

Hi andy, this is the bug report regarding the vt switching that we just discussed. It has been sent upstream but would be nice to get investigated further ourselves.

Just noticed the following:
LVDS1 is disabled by GNOME according to the display settings set there. VT-switching enables LVDS1 and shows the console. If I switch back to X, I first have to manually enable LVDS1 (xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto) before I can turn it off again (xrandr --output LVDS1 --off). After I've done that, LVDS1 isn't enabled anymore when I vt-switch and stays off, on console and X.

xrandr -q reports the following (before switching to vt1 the first time, while LVDS1 displays the console although I switched back to X and after I manually disabled it):

I think this should be fixed by the kernel commit:

Seems the patch went in upstream post 2.6.31. As an interim solution you can try running one of the latest mainline kernel builds which should contains this patch - For ex http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.32-rc4/
