From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4) Gecko/20030703 Description of problem: When ever I do have a new install, I have to add an optional parameter in XF86config under device: Option "Display" "BIOS" This tells my computer to display the video out the back of my notebook when the lid is closed. (like you probably didn't already know this) Is this possible to have this a default in the config file? I don't know the implications on other PCs that dont need this setting and having it there, but I do know that I cannot perform an install while the notebook is docked. I have to undock the notebook to install RH / Fedora. I have seen a lot of messages on the net about people complaining about the laptop close situation and linux. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Fresh install on notebook 2. 3. Additional info: BTW I do have a Dell Latitude C600 and C400. Thanks for your time.
