Dual monitor setup leads to 100% load on gnome-shell

Post by bugmenotprettyplz »

When i enable the secondary monitor on my laptop (Intel 945GMA) everything becomes very slow and gnome-shell pulls full load.

If I use "mirror displays" it works fine, but I'd like a secondary work area. Any ideas on why this is happening?

Does it work with other desktops (e.g. Mate)? If that's the case, you'd better get rid of Gnome Shell for the moment. I'm sure the dual-head issues we have at present will be fixed in future. If Mate has the same problem, it's your graphics driver.
