On suspend second monitor display totally borked

[James Clemence]

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-ati

When the computer is suspended and then re-awoken, my secondary display only shows hundreds of randomly coloured pixels, or rapidly refreshing multiple copies of my primary monitor desktop on the secondary monitor (at least 3). The primary display is unaffected. Obviously this is really annoying as it prevents me using the suspend function on my computer.

Hey James,

Hi, have you had a chance to test if this bug is still present in natty?

If it does (and if you're the original reporter), please boot into natty
and run the command:

  apport-collect <bug-number>

which will update the bug with fresh logs and tag the bug as affecting
natty. (It is best to run this right after reproducing the problem.)

[bugbot (bugbot)]

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. 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.
