I found out, if I suspend and then disconnect the monitor, then login, wait for Gnome to load, connect the monitor, works as well 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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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 604053 [details] Xorg.0.log for a failed attempt Description of problem: If I have my external monitor attached to DVI I can just see the background image on the laptop and the external monitor stays blank, no gdm login or anything. Without the external monitor everything is normal and I can login, then connect the external monitor and it remembers my setting to extend the desktop. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Linux disi-bigtop 3.5.1-1.fc17.x86_64 #1 SMP Thu Aug 9 17:50:43 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux How reproducible: 1. boot with an external monitor attached to DVI Also: Here is another scenario: 1. boot with the external monitor connected 2. just the background image and mouse pointer, where gdm should be 3. disconnect the monitor and restart Xorg (ctrl+alt+bksp) 4. gdm comes up and I can login 5. wait for Gnome to start 6. connect the external monitor and I get a kernel oops (tested twice) Actual results: cannot login with external monior Expected results: gdm to prompt for username/password Additional info: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family DRAM Controller (rev 09) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation Xeon E3-1200/2nd Generation Core Processor Family PCI Express Root Port (rev 09) 00:16.0 Communication controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family MEI Controller #1 (rev 04) 00:1a.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #2 (rev 05) 00:1b.0 Audio device: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family High Definition Audio Controller (rev 05) 00:1c.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 1 (rev b5) 00:1c.1 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 2 (rev b5) 00:1c.2 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 3 (rev b5) 00:1c.3 PCI bridge: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family PCI Express Root Port 4 (rev b5) 00:1d.0 USB Controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family USB Enhanced Host Controller #1 (rev 05) 00:1f.0 ISA bridge: Intel Corporation HM65 Express Chipset Family LPC Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.2 SATA controller: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family 6 port SATA AHCI Controller (rev 05) 00:1f.3 SMBus: Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset Family SMBus Controller (rev 05) 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Blackcomb [AMD Radeon HD 6900M Series] 01:00.1 Audio device: ATI Technologies Inc Barts HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 6800 Series] 02:00.0 USB Controller: NEC Corporation uPD720200 USB 3.0 Host Controller (rev 03) 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: JMicron Technology Corp.

The problem is there for more than a week now and even after a couple of updates, including kernel upgrade, the problem still persists...
