Package: xserver-common Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-4 Severity: normal File: /usr/X11R6/bin/X
Hello, I have noticed this problem on several platforms, including various versions of SuSE (9.1, 9.2) and Debian testing; also on various laptop models, ranging from Dell through Fujitsu to Thinkpads. Following happens: if you attach a video projector, and switch your laptop to the "external" mode using your function keys, no signal is sent, you get "no input" from the projector. Switch to the console and you will see a picture; switch back to X, and you get from the projector the error message "no input" again. Restart X, and everything is OK. For people who often make presentations with their laptops, and are used to keep dozens of programs and windows opened, quitting them all just to make a lecture or presentation is a pain in the neck. (yeah, I know, I can probably do startx -- :1.0 from a console -- not that I tried it!, but how many KDE newcommers will know that?). Moreover, I needed some time to figure out what the problem is. For the first few times I have rebooted the entire system :-))), getting polite smiles from the audience.
