Hello.
We have a strange behaviour in one situation with our IBM Laptops ( IBM Thinkpad T30 )
with
ATI Radeon Mobility 7500 graphiks card and an attached external LCD ( 15" or 18" )
under
XFree 4.3.0.1.
The issue occurs when the user wants to logout from his fvwm2 Session.
XFree seems to be reset and comes reproducable back in two cases:
With an attached 15" LCD he sees four desktops in his screen.
With an attached 17" LCD he sees four complete virtual desktops between he can scroll.
In this case the user has two possibilities: reboot or "ctrl" + "alt" + "backspace"
Here is our /etc/X11/XF86Config file and an interesting part of our
/var/log/XFree86.0.log:
