RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Thanks for the bug report.  We have reviewed the information you have provided above, and there is some additional information we require that will be helpful in our diagnosis of this issue.

If you are able to get to the frozen computer somehow (ssh from another computer?), please attach

* your X server config file (/etc/X11/xorg.conf, if available),
* output of the dmesg command,
* system log (/var/log/messages), and
* X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.*.log)

to the bug report as individual uncompressed file attachments using the bugzilla file attachment link above.

We will review this issue again once you've had a chance to attach this information.

Thanks in advance.

Comment 9 Ales Zelinka 2010-05-03 14:43:19 UTC 
I have very similar problem on Lenovo T61: 

external monitor connected to the laptop via dock.
The default (mirror) mode works perfect but when I try to de-couple the displays, there's about 50% change that my laptop freezes completely.

Command I use:
xrandr --output LVDS1 --auto --preferred --output VGA1 --auto --left-of LVDS1 --rotate left

xrandr output when it actually worked:
 Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 2704 x 1280, maximum 8192 x 8192
LVDS1 connected 1680x1050+1024+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 331mm x 207mm

Hello I tried to switch multiple "presentation/display modes" on Thinkpad X60s with extended display. And I run into the same issue as on previously mentioned T400.

Steps to reproduce:

1) Plug in extended display via vga port to X60s
2) Tap Few times Fn+F7 to test all possible profiles
    - Extended Display -- OK
    - Mirror -- OK
    - Laptop only -- OK
    - DISPLAY only (+ laptop console???) -- OK
    - freeze (possibly again extended screen)

Comment 16 Petr Šplíchal 2010-05-10 09:40:42 UTC 
I experienced a similar freeze when I changed a position of the
two monitors in a way that they are not aligned, e.g. like this:

                 +----------+
                 |          |
    +------------+          |
    |            |          |
    |            |          |
    |            |          |
    |            |          |
    +------------+          |
                 |          |
                 +----------+

Works fine when monitors are aligned like this:

    +------------+----------+
    |            |          |
    |            |          |
    |            |          |
    |            |          |
    +------------+          |
                 |          |
                 |          |
                 +----------+
