Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please attach your X server configuration file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf) and X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the "Attachment:" box below. Could you please also try to run without any /etc/X11/xorg.conf and let Xorg autodetect your display and video card? Please also attach the /var/log/Xorg.0.log from this attempt. Thanks in advance.

I guess this is mainly a duplicate of Bug #144641 so it is marked as such. Please don't use displayconfig-gtk to activate or deactivate external monitors with Intel graphic hardware. You can use the command xrandr instead or in the future new Ubuntu release gnome-display-properties.
