Package: xserver-xorg

Severity: normal
I have an nc6000 HP laptop with Radeon card, as well as a docking
station with DVI port, with a flat screen attached to it.
Before upgrading to etch/xorg from sarge/xfree86, I was able to have one
configuration (attached as xorg.conf.200602171936) and the xserver would
do the right thing:
- laptop standalone: 1024x768 on the internal display.
- laptop in docking station: 1280x1024 on external screen.
(I'm *not* trying to have something fancy like dual screen!)
Both config and log file included by the reportbug script show a dual
screen configuration though.
Since I've upgraded, I need to switch between two configuration files in
order to reach the same purpose. And if I use the wrong configuration
file, I get the following behavior:
- laptop standalone: internal display shows completely garbled picture,
looks like wrong sync parameters; I suspect trying to represent
1280x1024 on a display with 1024x768.
- laptop docked: the external screen doesn't show anything. I suspect
it's running on the internal screen.
In both cases, the xserver doesn't notice anything strange and runs
happily.
While writing this report, my computer is in the docking station. I'll
attach as well the 'standalone' configuration as
xorg.conf-works-with-internal-LCD.
Please attach log files obtained when starting with
xorg.conf.200602171936, both when docked and not.
Another issue I have since I upgraded is that I can't switch anymore
between internal and external (VGA, this time, especially beamer) using
the Fn+F4 combination, even if I set the 'Option BIOSHotkeys true'
in the device section.
Should I create a separate bug report for this one?
Yes, assuming this doesn't clear up in the course of this one and that
there's no other report about it yet.
Option MonitorLayout TMDS,LVDS
This combination can't work currently because the driver doesn't support
external TMDS chips yet (the Radeon chip only has one TMDS unit
integrated, which is used for the internal display).
