I have a compaq evo 800 (Pentium 4, 2GHz) portable pc dual-bootable both win-XP & debian testing with kde 3.2.2 desktop . At home I use the box as is and both win xp and debian work great. Instead at work where I plug the pc into a docking-station endowed of its own 21" monitor, mouse and keyboard, while under windows XP there are no problems, under kde 3.2 the 21" monitor shows one quarter (one third?) roughly of the entire screen which, in any case, I can scan moving the mouse around (the same happens with knoppix 3.4 but, in this case, I cannot move around but I'm haplessly stuck to that portion of screen.
What I noticed is that: 1) The docking station doesn't seem endowed of its own video card but uses the ATI Radeon 7500 of the pc, its driver, *** and **** two more drivers called (under win XP) "Unicenter Remote Control for Blank Host Adapter" and "Unicenter Remote Control for Screen Capture Adapter". 2) I noticed that, while under win XP the switch turning on/off the screen properly when you shut down or open the top cover of the pc (I mean the monitor itself), under a linux console works fine but stops working when a GUI like kde is activated. What shall I do to fix the problem? Ciao...
