2009-01-16 05:17:24 Bryce Harrington xserver-xorg-video-intel: status New Confirmed
2009-01-23 21:23:31 Bryce Harrington description Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel Steps to reproduce 1) Start laptop (Lenovo T400) with external monitor disconnected. 2) Log into Gnome with compiz enabled 3) Plug in external monitor 4) Enable external monitor (Mirror Screens is unchecked) in the Screen Resolutions Utility and click apply. When this happens I expect my desktop to be extended to the external monitor. Instead the screen is corrupted (photo attached). In this state the mouse pointer moves, but the rest of the screen is frozen. Further I'm unable switch tty. By killing X (ctrl-alt-bksp) I return to GDM. When I log in again, my desktop is extended across both monitors properly with compiz enabled. Further Information This bug does not occur if compiz is not enabled. To get compiz working with dual monitors I applied the patch found in bug 146859. I installed the drivers found in http://ppa.launchpad.net/intel-gfx-testing/ubuntu, but the bug had manifested itself BEFORE those drivers were installed.

2009-03-07 23:20:28 Paul Jones xserver-xorg-video-intel: statusexplanation Sorry about the long silence. My laptop is my production machine and I didn't want to install a development version of Ubuntu on it. I realized this week that I should be able to get it working with the Live CD. So I just tested with Jaunty Flight 5. The bug still exists in this version with the same symptoms as before. Suggestions? As a side note, I had a few other problems that didn't exist in Intrepid. I'm not sure if they were because I was working with a Live CD, or they are regressions from Ubuntu. When I used the xrandr utility it seemed like it only wanted to support a screen size of 2048x2048. I also experienced a hard lockup when the Screen Resolutions Utility wanted to changed the screen size from 1440x1440 (with only my laptop screen) to 2880xsomething for dualhead. I'll file bugs if I can replicate this issues.
