That is very strange. Can you elaborate on the "a different usb device"? Can you give us exact steps to repro? > I have had absolutely no success in plugging any adapter with any monitor > into any of the XO's after XO is up.

You can in some cases where the 2 video ports are on the same card and you have recent drivers. But not inserting a new video device as we do in this case. > I have had no success in unplugging the adapter while the external monitor > is active.

Please try this again -- the external monitor will take a few seconds but in my testing it does come back. > Another little note, when the external becomes active when booting the Sugar > desktop, the internal display goes blank, once the External goes active. > When booting on the Gnome side, the internal display continues to display a > sort of console output, but it remains static.
