Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): kernel-3.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64 How reproducible: So far every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Boot kernel-3.6.1-1.fc17.x86_64 2. Try to login 3. Actual results: Login screen is on the closed laptop display and I can see it if I move the docking station to where I can open the display Expected results: Login screen displays to the attached LCD when the laptop lid is closed Additional info:
The problem also manifests when I logout and try to log back in.
The problem continues in kernel-3.6.2-4.fc17.x86_64

Per https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/KernelBugTriage moving this to xorg-x11-drv-intel since this is associated with a video problem. [ 23.498] (II) intel(0): EDID vendor "AUO", prod id 20516
This message is a reminder that Fedora 17 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 17. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '17'. 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 17'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 17 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, you are encouraged change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 17's end of life. 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.
Fedora 17 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-07-30. Fedora 17 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.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.
