From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.8) Gecko/20050512 Red Hat/1.7.8-1.4.1 Description of problem: Immediately after installing RHEL4 on my IBM T40 laptop and running up2date, I setup dual monitors for a spanning desktop. I found two serious bugs: - Ctrl+Alt+F1 - F8 will lock up X - Exporting a remote display will display an empty window frame The issues go away when only using one display. The video card is: # lspci | grep VGA 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500] Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xorg-x11-6.8.1-23.EL How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Configure dual monitors and spanning desktop 2. Restart X 3. Press Ctrl+Alt+F1, or try to run xclock remotely over ssh x11 forwarding. Actual Results: Ctrl+Alt+F1 will lock up X. Only Ctrl-Alt-Del will respond. All other key and mouse actions do nothing. Remote xclock pops up localy. The window frame is functional, but the clock inside the window does not display.
