I am running RH 6.2 and GNOME & Enlightenment on a ThinkPad 600E, and I am having trouble with X. Occasionally. Normally the display is just fine -- however, under certain circumstances it will get repainted about a third larger in the Y dimension, pushing things off the bottom of the screen and into inaccessibility. Two situations under which this happens reliably: 1. Inserting a PCMCIA card while suspended 2. Using the Fn-F7 key combo to switch to an external monitor (when the keypress actually does its job -- see below) What happens is that everything suddenly becomes elongated and about a third again as large in the Y direction. The upper left remains anchored, but everthing stretches downward from there. That means that the panel and anything else in the bottom third of each desktop is out of reach. That is the first problem. I am hoping someone has seen this before, and either knows how to undo it or (even better) keep it from happening in the first place. The second problem is that X almost always captures the monitor switch key combo. If X is not running, Fn-F7 will correctly cycle through scree/external/screen+external displays. If X *is* running, sometimes (rarely) it will do that (but wank the screen into elongated unusability as described above), but mostly the screen just flickers and no signal is sent to the display output port. Repeated keypresses result in the same >flicker<-but-nothing-else behaviour. Booting up with an external monitor does not appear to make any difference. Has anyone ever encountered either of these? They make giving presentations from Linux problematical indeed.. I need to give one in Brasil next week, so I am hoping for a quick fix. :-D TIA! -- #ken P-)} Ken Coar, Sanagendamgagwedweinini http://Golux.Com/coar/ Apache Software Foundation http://www.apache.org/ "Apache Server for Dummies" http://Apache-Server.Com/ "Apache Server Unleashed" http://ApacheUnleashed.Com/ "All right everyone!
