Description of Problem: Under 7, the Dell CPx laptop could be configured to use the Generic LCD 1024x768 monitor which would work standalone and with the Dell docking station. I did a network upgrade using the docking station, and anaconda worked flawlessly with the external monitor (Dell UltraScan P991), but after reboot the docking station/monitor combination no longer worked. This is stock 7.1 using XFree86-4.0.3-5. The CPx uses this video chip: class: VIDEO bus: PCI detached: 0 driver: Card:ATI Rage Mobility desc: "ATI|Rage Mobility P/M AGP 2x" vendorId: 1002 deviceId: 4c4d subVendorId: 1028 subDeviceId: 00bb pciType: 1 How Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. W/o an external monitor, use Xconfigurator to configure the video settings 2. Shutdown, place laptop in docking station w/ external P991 3. Startup in an X runlevel. Actual Results: X and gdm attempt to start, but instead the screen flashes 4-5 times, waits a few seconds, and then attempts to respawn X/gdm again, w/o success. Expected Results: I should be able to use the same X settings standalone and with the external monitor and docking station. Additional Information: This does work with version 7 and XFree86-4.0.1-1.
Same problem that others have been reporting. We supposedly fixed this I thought prior to our final release of Seawolf. Maybe not.. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 40109 ***
