I upgraded my ubuntu from 10.10 to 11.04 and since that day I have been facing issues with Dual Monitor in Ubuntu. When I connect my second monitor during boot time, everything works fine.
But when I use my laptop and try to connect a monitor when I am running Ubuntu, I face a weird black screen issue. To see what I mean, following is a screenshot of the same.
Here are the problems that happen
- Desktop background goes away
- As you can see on the left hand side of the desktop, the right and top portions are black
- The usual buttons - power button, mail, volumne etc., on the top panel do not work as expected
- Plus it suddenly crashses at times.
And a lot of n other issues associated with this. Is there any patch/release that has happened for these bugs or should I report it anywhere?
Help needed.
