Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: hal-device-manager
I have a laptop which I'm daily changing it from docked (in the morning)
and undocked (evening). My usual procedure is to suspend (standby) the
laptop before docking/undocking.
When I do [docked]suspend+undock+resume or [undocked]suspend+dock+resume
I don't get the video output switched automatically (and thus have no
video displayed). I would need to press Fn+F7 or ScrollLock+F7 to
trigger a video output switch (I am using intel xorg driver). However,
my screen is automatically locked upon suspend so I first need to enter
the password, but I cannot see the screen. Furthermore, on my Logitech
keyboard hooked to the docking station I am unable to produce
ScrollLock+F7 due to special function keys rearrangements.
I would need an enhancement like this:
* somehow have the HAL daemon be notified of dock/undock status (or even
status change)
* once HAL daemon detected a docking change then it should trigger a video
output switch by calling the appropriate xorg driver hook (if possible specify
which is the current active video output).
** Affects: hal (Ubuntu)
