Comment 6 John Mizell 2009-12-02 18:15:10 UTC 
After updates I have noticed that when attaching external monitor that both are activated until gdm login. IF they are in a mirror state then things work fine. However once you change the settings so that they are not mirrored the system will be in a hang state. If you configure with the display preferences that one monitor is turned off then things work fine as well. I do not have an /etc/X11/xorg.conf file.

Seems to be solved with the last yum update :)

Reporter, could you confirm this observations please (use --enablerepo=updates-testing in case you don't have switched it on already)?

Thank you

This seems to be fixed. I however do see an issue where the top and bottom panel show up on the left screen and not on the right. Should I open another bug request for this and which component would this go under?

Thank you for letting us know. And yes, please, I would start with gnome-panel.
