Comment 20 for bug 771915

Hello,

I have the same problem on my X61 Tablet when using an external monitor (Dell 2009W 1680x1050@60Hz) together with my laptop screen (1024x768@60Hz).

I do not have an nvidia card, but instead:

00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile GM965/GL960 Integrated Graphics Controller (primary) (rev 0c)

I am reporting this here in case this turns out to be a more general problem.

I am setting them up in an "extend" configuration, so the large screen extends the desktop to the right.

This problem appeared a few weeks after the upgrade to 11.04 which is strange. It worked fine in the beginning (even though the icons where cropped on the top of the laptop screen (smaller height compared to the large screen).

In my case it affects both Ubuntu and Ubuntu Classic Sessions (with or without effects).

In ubuntu classic, I just get the desktop, initialy empty. I can pull a terminal up (ctrl-alt-T) and type "gnome-panel" to get the panel and work. Then the desktop icons also appear.

I do not know if this is helpful to this forum.
