2011-09-05 12:57:57 David Henningsson description I've been enabling/disabling a secondary screen a few times back and forth and the result is rather flaky/unstable. This is what happens when I press "apply": * In best case, I get a strange (artifacts all over) for ~15 seconds, then the real screen reappears asking me whether I want to return to previous settings (and the usual timeout). * Sometimes I get a strange screen for all 30 seconds and then it reverts. * Sometimes nothing happens at all. * Sometimes the computer locks up hard with a black screen. * One time I also got an error saying that it failed to set "Metamode 1920x1200 on Xscreen 0".
