Comment 45 for bug 1296020

I have a very similar issue, but on Acer Aspire 3820TG-7360 with Intel builtin i3-370M and ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650. However, in my case the two displays are both called "Built-in Display". And my xrandr -q output shows that the first is LVDS1 while the second is LVDS-1-1 (see below). This was an issue during the installation as well and made it difficult to install (I had to reboot several times) because the installation dialogue occasionally appeared offscreen on the non-existant display, rather than the actual display (as seen by screen tearing and using Alt-Tab). Attaching an external monitor merely adds a third display. This renders my installation unstable as often my laptop screen goes is blank at the login screen, (although I can hear the login music) or there seem to be two, overlapping login screens. Once logged in, I can mirror the displays to prevent windows opening in the non-existant display, but graphics are slow and tearing.

The fix above did not help.

Should I open a new bug report? Or is this simialr enough to be considered the same? I'm happy to provide any more information that could help.

Thanks
