Bug Description

I just tried this:
System->Administration->Screens and Graphics

*ooh shiny*

Clicked Screen 2
Clicked 'Secondary SCreen'
Clicked 'Test'

Waited while my LCD went completely black, console, to black a few
times. Then got a login screen.

Logged in, and poked around a little - not a test session, my main
session had just been violated in unpleasant ways and existing X clients
had died.

Xorg.0.log.old and lspci -vvn attached, I presume thats the key thing to
grab.

 affects /ubuntu/xserver-xorg-video-intel

Found in the Xorg.0.log file:

(II) AIGLX: Resuming AIGLX clients after VT switch
(WW) intel(0): xf86AcquireGART: AGPIOC_ACQUIRE failed (Device or resource busy)

Fatal server error:
EnterVT failed for screen 0

Your log files actually didn't get added to your bug report, could you please add them by visiting your bug's web page? Additionally, since Feisty the output of 'lspci -vvnn' is preferred. Thanks in advance!

I was also able to reproduce this using the same steps and video card.

Is this still occurring with Gutsy-final?

Also, could someone also check it against Hardy? Hardy Alpha-1 will be out later this week.

Closing as out of date due to no response in 3 months.
Also, for Hardy we're going to use a different approach for configuring multiple head systems.
