Description of problem: The display handling in X on my Panasonic S10 is broken a) Run kcmshell4 display and choose 1024x768 instead of the 1280x800 default. Sometimes if I do this the cursor disappears. This is of course rather useless as one cannot do anything in X without a cursor. alt-ctrl-F* say does not bring up a console terminal, but just a blank screen. If, in cases where the cursor does not diappear, I change back to 1280x800 the alt-ctrl-F2 say does again bring up the console terminal. So something about the changed resolution has destroyed the terminals. b) If I plug in and external monitor/beamer it gives me a choice for the beamer, but in this case its max resolution is only 1024x768. If I leave the laptop screen at 1280x800, the display on the beamer is cut off. If I try to change to 1024x768 on the laptop screen, It flashes and then has returned the laptop screen to 1280x800, and cutoff. If I tick the "Unify outputs" the kcmshell4 display screen says both are 1024x768, but the beamer is still cutoff (and everything looks like 1280x800 is being used. c) If I change to 1024x768 on the laptop screen before plugging in the beamer I can then get a unified display. However, if I unplug the beamer and click "Ignore" when it asks if I iwant to change the display, then everything goes black. Sometimes atl-ctrl-F2 brings up a console terminal, but alt-ctrl-F1 briefly flashes the X display and then goes black. I have included these all as they would seem to be due to a common bug in the display handling. Mageia 2 updated to most recent updates as of Sept 17.
