Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

I have an external monitor (Acer T231H via HDMI) connected to my notebook (intel graphics card). Cloneview, dual view and only internal monitor works fine.
But when i disable the internal screen (-> only external) both screens turn off. After 30 seconds both screens turn on again but only the mouse is visible.
Restarting GDM using a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+F1) brings the interface back in Cloneview.

PS: When I keep on moving the mouse after I clicked <Apply> it works...
