I have upgraded to gnome 2.30 and while there are a few rough edges, the |
2 |
display is causing real problems. |

When I am using a projector ("beamer" for the yanks here :) on external |
5 |
vga and LCD at the same time, the screen sometimes treats the vga out as |
6 |
a second screen (not a clone of the first which is what I want). Its |
7 |
random on how it happens. Then if I start any application, Mr Murphy |
8 |
will ensure it starts on the wrong output :) I suspect running vmware |
9 |
at some point before connecting the projector may have something to do |
10 |
with it (has never happened unless I have run vmware sometime since |
11 |
boot) |

Earlier gnome (<=2.28) had a panel icon for managing the display but |
14 |
this had dissappeared with 2.30. |
15 |
|
16 |
so: |
17 |
1. how can I manage the display from gnome 2.30 |
18 |
2. how can I fix the underlying problem of being cloned sometimes and |
19 |
not others. |
20 |
3. how can I do an emergency fix without having to restart X (maybe a |
21 |
script/xrandr command if it exists?) |
22 |
i.e., its somewhat disastrous to discover this at the start of a |
23 |
presentation!) |
