[Bug 383486] [NEW] all displays fail to output applications when virtual is set

[Sami Haahtinen]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-video-intel

Display Preferences application writes the following to xorg.conf when
mirror display is disabled:

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "Default Screen"
        Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
        Device          "Configured Video Device"
        SubSection "Display"
                Virtual 2680 1050
        EndSubSection
EndSection

This combined with the latest xserver-xorg-video-intel causes both
displays to activate but no applications are shown on either of the
displays. For example, in gdm login the mouse cursor is shown on both
screens yet both screens remain otherwise black. (the gdm login screen
is not displayed).

I'm assuming that this isn't caused by gdm since if i enter my username
and password to the blank screen, i can hear the login sound playing.
