[Bug 327009] [NEW] compiz disabled after connecting external display

[michal kralik]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: compiz

Today I connected my Samsung 40" LCD to Thinkpad T60 and lost compiz
too.

You connect external display, open screen resolution dialog which properly recognizes Samsung 40", enable it, configure resolution and hit apply.
Then it says, it has to edit the file directly to enable display.

Once applied, compiz is disabled, even the Normal visual effects don't work.
If you disconnect external display, reboot, compiz still doesn't work.
I noticed there is backup of my /etc/X11/xorg.conf. Here is the diff

21,24d20
< Section "Device"
<       Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
< EndSection
< 
32a29,31
>       SubSection "Display"
>               Virtual 2760 1050
>       EndSubSection
33a33,37
> 
> Section "Device"
>       Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
> EndSection
>

I replaced the xorg.conf with backed up and it all works fine.
