Weird... Found it! It turns out that it's actually the GNOME desktop resolution handling that's doing this, i.e. the setting stored in /desktop/gnome/screen/default/0 under "gconf". The problem went away after I simply opened Preferences->Screen Resolution, and confirmed the current setting of 3600x1200 by pressing Apply - after re-enabling the screen. Not sure what the "stored" setting originally was. I'm quite sure I haven't touched it in a long time, though, so *something* related to its handling must have changed after an upgrade. Also, all entries but 3600x1200 (which is the max total display area with both screens) in the config tool correspond to pixel counts that may be displayed on the laptop screen, and selecting any of them will disable the external monitor. - Toralf > > - Toralf > >> _______________________________________________ >> CentOS mailing list >> CentOS at centos.org >> http://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos > > This e-mail, including any attachments and response string, may contain proprietary information which is confidential and may be legally privileged.
