Comment 41 for bug 749817

When I rebooted with today's updates, I did not see the crash mentioned in comment #39 and #40. I get mirrored screens on the text console and at the gdm greeter screen. After logging in to Ubuntu Classic I initially get a black screen, but pressing Fn-F7 does flip between modes. Strangely enough, mirrored mode, laptop-only mode, and side-by-side mode all work, but external-monitor-only causes the external screen to go into power-saving mode and turn off.

Even stranger, if I use the displays panel widget to turn the external monitor on and the internal one off, things do work correctly.

So it seems like for me this is mostly but not entirely fixed; or perhaps it's replaced by some other problem.
