Comment 0 for bug 841792

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".
