Hi All,
Wondering if anyone could help with this situation.
Have a Dell Studio XPS with 64 bit Meerkat on it. Whenever I connect my Samsung external monitor by displayport/dvi ubuntu no longer boots. Machine unresponsive and have to cut power and disconnect it. :/
Sounds exactly like this bug, no? https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/655795
Except for the fact I have ATI video card and the restricted drivers (with Catalyst control center, although it is useless). See for yourself:
02:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Madison [Mobility Radeon HD 5000 Series]
Win7 install works fine ... sigh. Would turning off acceleration/effects help? I'm about to try that next then going to bed. ;)
