Until a couple of weeks ago, I was running openSuSE 12.1 (Gnome) on my Apple Macbook Pro (5,5) 13" Nvidia 9400M with an external monitor attached as the primary monitor (Activity bar) and the laptop monitor as the secondary. With the Nouveau driver in 12.1, I was able to unplug the external monitor and the laptop monitor would immediately take over - the activity bar and all applications would jump across to the laptop monitor. When I reattached the external monitor, the desktop would reestablish the external monitor as main. This action is as I expected.
Recently I installed 12.2 on the same laptop. When I unplug the external monitor now, nothing happens. oS seems to think the external monitor is still attached, and I can move the mouse off the laptop screen to where the external monitor should be. The only recovery is to reboot using the power button as the activity bar is hidden on the other monitor. I have not tested this using the Nvidia driver as, under 12.1, I found the Nouveau driver worked better at managing external monitor changes. What I would like is to get the current driver in 12.2 doing what it used to do under 12.1. I have saved a copy of Xorg.0.log, then removed the external monitor and saved another copy of the same file. There is no changes to the file after removing the monitor. It appears the driver is not recognising the removal of the external monitor as it used to. If I then re-attached the monitor the desktop is as if nothing has changed. I have placed copies of the Xorg.0.log files at http://www.iisys.com.au/opensuse xorg1 = original after booting with laptop & external monitor attached. xorg2 = removed external monitor (no change with xorg1) xorg3 = reattach the external monitor. Only the last entry is repeated. Any help would be appreciated.If this is not the right place for this, I would be very pleased if someone could point me in the right direction. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] To contact the owner, e-mail: [email protected]
