    Gnome Shell/X crash when projector plugged in

    Hi,

    on my 15.10 system on a Dell Precision M4800, Gnome Shell/X crash in the moment I connect my projector (an older ViewSonic PJ458D) via the VGA port. I get back to the display manager (displayed both on the laptop screen as well as on the projector), but the second I log in X crashes again and I get back to the dm. In /var/crash, I get a _usr_bin_gnome-shell.1000.crash and a _usr_bin_Xorg.0.crash dump.

    Any advice how to diagnose/solve this issue?

    Thanks!

    Funny, I could swear I posted. I'll try again:
    As a step toward figuring it out, when you get a console, try
    Code:
    startx
    and see what happens.
