Hi Bryce, I have since upgraded to Hardy 8.04 LTS and the behaviour of the keys "Fn + F5 (CRT/LCD)" is quite different now:
1) There is no crash anymore. 2) When pressing once, the external screen is swichted on in addition to the laptop screen, but has some flickering noise. 3) When pressing a second time, the laptop screen is swichted off, and the external screen works perfectly. 4) After that I cannot switch on the laptop screen anymore. I tried by repeatedly pressing "Fn + F5 (CRT/LCD)", and by using the command "sudo i810switch lcd on", but I cannot switch on the graphic display anymore without restarting the computer. Another issue (maybe unrelated) is the following: In mirror screen mode I use the command "sudo i855crt on 1024x...@60" which removes the flickering, BUT (and this completely puzzles me) on the external display a small (~1%) either white or black square appears in the top left corner that cannot be removed. I can try to provide more information, if you tell me what could be of interest. Please also inform me, if this should be filed elsewhere... -- Acer TravelMate 290: Fn + F5 (CRT/LCD) cause crash-down https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/70064 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
