restarting X Server with STRG+ALT+BACKSPACE resets the settings to not working. output of xrandr -q however is the same Do you change anything like the power state ? If so it's not supported with 2 monitor. no it's a completely fresh install! my bad. Misread that. No did not change the power state. Can I provide any other information for you? This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '17'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 17 is 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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. Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
Created attachment 587734 [details] Xorg.log Description of problem: Whenever I turn on my laptop with a Second Monitor (happened with LG Flatron W24437 and several TV's) connected via VGA, my laptop monitor starts blinking in different colors. It displays black, green, red, blue, etc. screens (literally the whole monitor shows the same color) while the second monitor, the one connected via VGA displays everything as it should. However starting up without a second monitor connected to the laptop works perfectly fine as long as I do not connect a second monitor. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): (Same occurred with Fedora 16.) How reproducible: On every restart (from the time on when I have to enter my password to decrypt the home partition) or by connecting a monitor to the running system. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plugin second monitor 2. Start computer 3. Wait until monitor starts blinking (which happens as soon as it asks me for the password to decrypt my home patition) Actual results: One monitor (the laptop monitor) blinks, second monitor (external, connected via VGA) works. Expected results: Both monitors working. Additional info: WORKAROUND: So far so good. What I found out is that if I log in and open the Gnome Shell Displays Settings I can repair the bug by: 1. moving the Gnome Shell panel from the external monitor to the laptop monitor. At this point nothing happens, the monitors doesn't even seem to reload. 2. moving the Gnome Shell panel back to the external monitor. As soon as I press the apply button both monitors reload/reflash, which means they are black for a quarter of a second and then display the Gnome Shell. It seems like a easy reload/reflash of the the monitors after loading the Gnome Shell login screen could fix this issue. Added Xorg.log as an attachment. xrandr -q after doing the WORKAROUND above: $ xrandr -q Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 3286 x 1080, maximum 8192 x 8192 VGA-0 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 510mm x 290mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ 1680x1050 60.0 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 60.0 800x600 75.0 60.3 640x480 75.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 LVDS connected 1366x768+1920+312 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 344mm x 193mm 1366x768 60.0*+ 1280x720 59.9 1152x768 59.8 1024x768 120.1 60.0 59.9 960x720 120.0 928x696 120.1 896x672 120.0 800x600 120.0 60.3 59.9 56.2 848x480 59.7 700x525 120.0 720x480 59.7 640x512 120.0 640x480 120.0 59.9 59.4 512x384 120.0 400x300 120.6 112.7 320x240 120.1
