Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: xorg
Almost every time I use xrandr to setup my monitors I get garbled,
unusable desktop. The system remains perfectly working (no lockups,
mouse pointer visible and working, desktop responsive to inputs: I could
continue use it blindly). With some more details:
- If I change the configuration of a monitor, I get the garbled desktop.
Reverting to previous configuration does not work (still garbled).
Sometimes I got an usable desktop (blindly) configuring monitors with
very low resolutions (800x600 or 640x480).
- The issue often occurs even doing a simple xrandr query (with CLI or
opening the GUI).
- If I start my laptop with the external monitor plugged, gdm starts
fine (with low resolution on both monitors, though), gnome starts fine
with both monitors well working at right resolution (1280x800+0+224,
1280x1024+1280+0). Changing the configuration of a monitor triggers the
issue.
As a side node, things work perfectly with Fedora 13 Beta live DVD
(apart from xorg crash when rotating a monitor at maximum resolution).
So the issue maybe related to xorg 1.7.6 and solved in xorg 1.8.
