Description Ryan Lerch 2011-05-27 01:05:12 UTC

Description of problem:
When a second monitor is plugged into my freshly installed fedora 15 machine, after it has been detected, one of the screens goes black, and the other still has the desktop wallpaper on it. I can still see and move the mouse.

If i unplug the monitor, everything goes back to normal. If i boot up with both monitors plugged in, the same behaviour occurs when the login prompt is shown.

Ryan,

I've done a real build which'll hit updates-testing at some point: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=3095124

Hopefully it'll work just as well as the scratch I sent you..
