Bug Description
The DELL XPS13 (9343) came with Ubuntu 14.04 factory preinstalled. But it has too many bugs to be useful. In the meantime I have upgraded to Ubuntu Mate 15.04 (Vivid) with kernel 3.19.0-18-generic.
The laptop has only a Mini-Displayport connector. So I use an adapter for VGA and HDMI, a no-name 3-in-1, model# 27391 from German company CSL.
When the window-manager is "Marco (Simple desktop effects)" then I do get a connection to an external monitor as it should be. However, Using Marco results in a failure when resuming from suspend. (see bug report https:/
When I use the window-manager "Compiz (Advanced GPU accelerated desktop effects)" I get a proper resume from suspend, but connecting an external monitor results in a black screen on both the internal and external monitor. I can still see the mouse pointer moving across both screens, but no desktop, no menus or anything clickable. Same problem for both an external VGA or an external HDMI connection. Sometimes I do get a picture on the external monitor, but with a few blank spots, and everything is frozen, nothing can be clicked.
Switching to a terminal by CTRL-ALT-F1 still works, and gives a terminal on the internal monitor.
So currently I can either have a working suspend, or a working external monitor, but not both.
