After Resume display settings are lost

[Nikolaus Filus]

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

I'm working on my DELL E6400 (Intel GM45) with LVDS1 off and HDMI beeing primary display. After resume the display settings are reverted to both on and LVDS1 is set to primary. Trying to change back with gnome-display-properties freezes the app. The tray applet doesn't work too anymore. Change is possible by manually using xrandr.

Additionally the desktop theme is reset to GTK default (uggly grey :)) but this may need a seperate report.

Hi Nikolaus,

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering is this still an issue for you? Can you try with the latest development release of Ubuntu? (ISO CD images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/)

If it remains an issue, could you also attach a new /var/log/Xorg.0.log?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Nikolaus,

This bug was reported against an earlier version of Ubuntu, can you
test if it still occurs on Lucid?

If you are the original reporter and can still reproduce the issue on
Lucid, please run the following command to refresh the report:

If you are not the original reporter, please file a new bug report, so
we can work with you as the original reporter instead (you can reference

Also, if you could, please test against the latest development version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.

Hi,
sorry! Migrated my business notebook to lucid just a few days ago and wanted to do some more testing before confirming ... the time flew by. I'm running the requested apport now.

[Nikolaus Filus (nfilus)]

apport-collect returns:
   Package xorg-server not installed and no hook available, ignoring

How to provide more data?

What changed in lucid:
 * sometimes I see only the wallpaper on both screens. Rightclick on the desktop -> Terminal -> "xrandr --auto" restores both screens
* sometimes the wallpaper and accessible screen size stays at initial size (800x600?) and the screen is filled with tiling. moving the mouse out of the little box not possible. xrandr helps again
* sometimes both screens are restored but only with a smaller size (notebook panel or the 800x600 - dont know)
* the correct settings are NEVER restored.

Nikolaus Filus, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER

Thank you for your understanding.
