Bug Description

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg

A default install of Hardy Beta on my Lenovo T60p enables both of the screens attached to my Advanced Mini-Dock, and they mirror one another. If the laptop is booted with its lid closed, and I open it, both those screens go blank and the laptop display shows me flashing blocks of color, i.e. garbage.

I have not (yet) installed any restricted drivers.

uname -a => "Linux hardy 2.6.24-15-generic #1 SMP Fri Apr 4 03:48:31 UTC 2008 i686 GNU/Linux"

Standard logs attached.

Please attach your /var/log/Xorg.0.log as well.

logs have been rotated many times since I made this report, but I've attached the oldest thing I have (which appears to be close to the right time)

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. In the development cycle for Intrepid there have been some vast improvements in the open source ati video driver and we could use your help testing them. Could you please download the latest Alpha CD image of Intrepid and test this particular bug just using the Live CD? You can find the latest image at http://www.ubuntu.com/testing . Your testing can help make Ubuntu and the open source ati driver even better! Thanks in advance.

Hi Dave, have you had a chance to test this against Intrepid by chance?

We're closing this bug since it is has been some time with no response from the original reporter. However, if the issue still exists please feel free to reopen with the requested information. Also, if you could, please test against the latest version of Ubuntu, since this confirms the bug is one we may be able to pass upstream for help.
