I have a laptop (Acer TravelMate 8471), which I connect to an external monitor, keyboard etc. when I'm at home.

When I unplug my laptop, I have to remember to go to the Monitor Preferences and turn off the external monitor, and turn on my laptop monitor, otherwise X will crash.

When I plug my external monitor to my laptop, it will automatically switch to that one without any troubles.

I'm running 10.10, and I have an intel graphics card (GMA 4500 I think; i915).

You should report an X bug.

  • I have a similar problem, did you end up finding a solution?

For anyone else running into this issue I managed to solve it based on Ubuntu 20.04 suspend logs off and wakes up Seems nvidia has some orphaned symlinks to hibernate and resume files that would cause gdm to die and restart when the monitor was unplugged.
