Description Sriram Ramkrishna 2011-11-17 21:47:51 UTC
Description of problem:

I think we have a bit of a xrandr problem. have an Compaq 8510w with an nvidia chipset in it running the nouveau driver that comes default with F16.  The problem is that if I boot the laptop from the laptop dock connected to a single monitor with the lid closed, and then attempt to remove it from the dock and then flip the lid open I will get a black screen.

There doesn't seem to be any way to recover from this. I cannot put the laptop back on the dock and have it come back.  Going to text mode doesn't do anything either. I end up powering off the laptop in order to fix things.


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


How reproducible:

Put laptop on dock, keep lid closed, turn on laptop.  Once at GDM screen, take the laptop off the dock and flip the lid open.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.
2.
3.
  
Actual results:

Black screen

Expected results:

I expect that gdm screen to show up on the local laptop monitor.

Additional info:

I am using the GNOME 3 desktop environment.

Dave - thank you for spending time on this bug.  I appreciate it.  I didn't get a chance to test the fix.  I'll try it on F17 and let you know.  Closing this is appropriate.
