Description Sean E. Millichamp 2010-06-01 15:11:04 UTC
Description of problem:

When I have my laptop (Dell Latitude E5500) undocked, using only the built-in panel, everything works as-expected.

When my laptop is docked with two external monitors attached the screen updates in Plymouth are *very* slow.  For example, when typing my LUKS passphrase I can get about one "dot" every 2 seconds or so. The Fedora logo is similarly slow to update.

Also, if I boot docked with "nomodeset" things are fine but with the release of Fedora 13 "nomodeset" breaks X so I can't go that route any more.

With a fully-updated Fedora 12 I was NOT experiencing this problem.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

plymouth-0.8.2-3.fc13.x86_64
kernel-2.6.33.5-112.fc13.x86_64

How reproducible:

Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Dock laptop
2. Boot

Comment 1 Chuck Liggett 2010-11-08 15:15:48 UTC
This is also affecting me on a Dell Lattitude E4300 when docked, and I experience 100% crashes of XScreensaver GL-based screen savers.

This occurs just like Sean where when I boot with the computer docked in my Dell E-series dock with two external HDMI lcd displays.

I also use LUKS for encryption of my LVM partition, and upon boot, when the Luks passphrase window appears, the screen is duplicated on both the primary and secondary HDMI monitors, but as soon as I start to type the Luks passphrase, the primary monitor blanks out, the responsivness of the input is extremely slow, recognizing a character about every two seconds, and after I hit enter on my passphrase, the Fedora "charge" is in exceptionally slow motion and takes a long time.

In the docked configuration, I have the laptop's display screen closed.

Comment 2 Bug Zapper 2011-06-02 12:29:11 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 13 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 13.  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bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '13'.

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 13'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 13 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 please change the 'version' of this 
bug to the applicable version.  If you are unable to change the version, 
please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.

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.

The process we are following is described here: 
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

Comment 3 Bug Zapper 2011-06-27 17:15:51 UTC
Fedora 13 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2011-06-25. Fedora 13 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.
