Bug Description
Binary package hint: xserver-
I'm installed xserver-
and i'm using multiple (2) monitors to work...
Somewhy only one monitor can work with this intel video driver,
so i checked what is changed :
121_i965_
Seems that patch causing this issue...
I cannot get work both monitor same time
( Gnome display properties saying "Please log out and log back in again" , i tried it: logging in and out isn't working,
i applied the upstream patch from: https:/
that is also useless for me...), so i changed that in patch file 2048x2048 to my virtual resolution to 2704x1050, and everything is working fine again:
Here is my modified patch:

Please don't mark this bugreport as duplicate of https:/
Btw, my xorg.conf is properly set:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1680x1050" "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
Virtual 2704 1050
EndSubSection
EndSection
i don't understand xorg why not change to virtual resolution to 2704x1050,
maybe the root of the problem can be elsewhere (i mean not in the intel driver...)
