I doubt that it will help with the crash, because the graphics card
should not know if the monitor cannot display the image. But who knows.

Anyway, if it does not work, you should definitely file a bug report.
Only then my problem was dealt with by the intel engineer. And I do not
know if such problems need to be send to a specific intel list to get
help.


Thanks,

Paul
