Since this bugzilla report was filed, there have been several major updates in various components of the Xorg system, which may have resolved this issue. Users who have experienced this problem are encouraged to upgrade their system to the latest version of their packages (at least F12Beta, but even better if the very latest versions). Please, if you experience this problem on the up-to-date system, let us now in the comment for this bug, or whether the upgraded system works for you. If you won't be able to reply in one month, I will have to close this bug as INSUFFICIENT_DATA. Thank you. [This is a bulk message for all open Fedora Rawhide Xorg-related bugs. I'm adding myself to the CC list for each bug, so I'll see any comments you make after this and do my best to make sure every issue gets proper attention.] Ajax had a build that I confirmed to fix this. Not sure where that is now. OK, putting NEEDINFO for you to find it :) This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Ajax, is this something we can put in an update for f12? I've had this problem too, but yesterday I booted my Lenovo T60 in the docking station with the lid closed and it used the external monitor correctly. The xorg-x11-drv-intel RPM hasn't been updated since 18 Nov 2009 so I'm not sure what fixed it. Maybe it was the recent update to KDE 4.4.0? I'm experiencing this bug in F13.
I regularly use my R61 with a docking station. There are multiple issues:
- When I close the lid, and an external screen is attached, the session is locked
Expected behaviour:
- X should turn off LVDS
- If another screen is attached, it should be turned on at it's native/
max resolution
- The session should only be locked if there's no external screen attached
- When starting X, screens are cloned, even if the lid is closed
This problem was fixed for me as I mentioned in comment 6, but after upgrading to Fedora 13 it has returned. My T60 is in the docking station with the lid closed when I turn it on. At first, everything displays fine on the external monitor: BIOS/POST, grub, plymouth graphical boot, gdm, and even the KDE splash screen. But as soon as KDE is fully launched, everything moves over to the laptop display (which is still closed) and I'm left with a mostly blank screen. My current workaround is to right-click on the desktop to open a terminal and run xrandr --fb 1920x1080 --output LVDS1 --off --output VGA1 --mode 1920x1080 I've also tried Gnome and XFCE and they both have the same problem so I don't believe this is a KDE bug. I'm updating the version on this bug to 13. I'm now using a Lenovo T510 with Fedora 14 and this is still a bug. It still tries to use the closed lid display. *** Bug 680325 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 684982 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping |
