OK, so how many of you are trying out Kubuntu Intrepid with a second monitor which works somewhat, but constantly sits there and blinks on and off? If you answered “ya, mine does that” then this is what you need to do:
- Open up System Settings
- Go to the Advanced tab
- Select Service Manager
- Select Detecting RANDR (monitor) changes and stop the service
- Uncheck the box next to the previous step in order to prevent this service from starting up at login
- Apply everything and close out
- Enjoy the non-blinking external or 2nd display
Thanks to those of you who responded to bug #278471 for helping us out!
