Hello,
If someone wants to take a look at this bug I'd be glad:
"KMS:RV635:Radeon 3650HD graphics driver broken on a laptop when connected to a docking station and external display": https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=593429
I'd like to help debugging it.. let me know what to try, if more information is needed.. I'm running Fedora 13.
Does it work if you boot up without the external monitor connected and then enable it after it's booted up?
Ok I just tried this. I booted up the laptop without the dock, and when I was in X using only the laptop internal display I connected the laptop to the docking station (which has external display via DVI).
Now I could go to Gnome Monitors application, see the external DVI display, enable it and I got picture there!
.. just once. After I disabled the external display, and tried re-enabling it, it didn't work anymore.. no picture on the external display anymore.
Also something weird: http://pasik.reaktio.net/fedora/f13-radeon-monitors.jpg
The external display is being shown twice.. for some reason?
Also, is this specific to F13 or are you seeing similar issues with other kms kernels or distros?
I'll try Ubuntu 10.04.
I haven't tried custom/non-distro kernels.
