[ltp] Re: T23 external video prob - X/Gnome?

[Jeff Eidsness]

=A0=A0=A0=A0just a small update...

=A0=A0=A0=A0the exact same thing happens whether i use the port=
 replicator or not.

=A0=A0=A0=A0Some folks have suggested acpi being the culprit, but i'm not=
 using that. apmd is running, but i've found nothing in the apm=
 docs relating to this behavior.

=A0=A0=A0=A0I've been reading up on gnome, as i think thats where the=
 problem (er, feature) lies. Nothing so far :/
