I have a Panasonic S10 toughbook projector, with a native resolution of 1280x768. When I plug my Mageia 2 laptop into a projector, they are almost always max resulution of 1024x768, so I have to lower the resolution on the laptop click on unify, and then set the resolution on the beamer. This works fine. However, if I now unplug the projector without resetting the resolution on the laptop, it will eventually ( not immediately but within 5 min) give me a black screen. There is no way of recovering except a reboot that I have found. Ie, X seems to have become confused. I can sometime get away with typing blind ( alt-ctrl-F2, log in blind as root, and do reboot all into a black screen) sometimes I make a mistake and cannot recover and have to use the power switch. Ie, the system does not recover gracefully to unplugging the beamer from the VGA port. Intel® QM67 video controller graphics card.
This message is a reminder that Mageia 2 is nearing its end of life. Approximately one month from now Mageia will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Mageia 2. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX (EOL) if it remains open with a Mageia 'version' of '2'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Mageia version prior to Mageia 2's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Mageia 2 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Mageia, you are encouraged to click on "Version" and change it against that version of Mageia. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Mageia release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. -- The Mageia Bugsquad
