Comment 69 for bug 753971

I'll second Ben Romer's observation. It seems to have gotten better, but it's a long way from smooth functioning.

I hope I won't come across as unhelpful (by not providing specific details), but a testing routine should be pretty simple:

* Plug & unplug the external monitor & make sure everything still works

* Suspend & then wake up with the external monitor plugged in & make sure everything still works

* Restart the Ubuntu system with the external monitor plugged in & make sure everything still works

* Suspend & then wake up with the laptop lid closed & the external monitor plugged in & make sure everything still works

* Restart the Ubuntu system with the external monitor plugged in & the lid laptop closed & make sure everything still works

* In the above points, try opening the lid when the system is running (if it was closed)

Currently, all of the above points will cause major problems, sometimes to the point of requiring a reboot.
