can't switch to external monitor after KDE 3.5 upgrade
Hello,
I am using a Dell Latitude D600 with Debian testing. The external monitor switch is software, and it seems like xorg does not recognize it.
I just did the apt-get dist-upgrade to KDE 3.5 and rebooted and everything seems OK except Fn-F8 does not have any effect (it's supposed to switch to external monitor).
However, what is interesting is that if I use Ctrl-Alt-F4 (for example) to switch to the fourth virtual console, then Fn-F8 *does* work. But as soon as I switch back to the 7th virtual console (which the X server uses) the image automatically switches back to the LCD display and Fn-F8 doesn't have any effect again.
So it seems like this is a problem of the X server.
Does anybody know how to go around it or fix it?
Thank you.
