Description of problem: When I use an external display with the laptop, I disable LVDS and use external screen only. This is achieved by unselecting 'use this output' in display configuration for LVDS. Only a single screen is in use at any given time. Disconnecting external display does not cause LVDS to get automatically enabled, and I'm left without any display and I can't really change the display settings at this point. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): xfce4-settings-4.10.1-3.fc20.x86_64 How reproducible: always Steps to Reproduce: 1. connect external display 2. in display settings, disable LVDS, make sure that external display is enabled 3. disconnect external display Actual results: LVDS remains disabled, can't use desktop as no displays are enabled Expected results: LVDS as the only avaialble screen gets automatically enabled Additional info:
Yeah, I think this is known upstream, but I can't seem to find the bug on it. ;( Would you be willing to file a new one? (bugzilla.xfce.org) In the mean time do you have a fn-f7 or similar key that you can hit to reactivate it? Or can you map a xrandr call to a key?
Me too, but on GNOME. See also #1052248
This message is a reminder that Fedora 20 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 20. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 EOL if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '20'. 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. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not able to fix it before Fedora 20 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 this bug is closed as described in the policy above. 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.
