My computer is an eeePC. When I use the key to change the output screen, the screen become black, and I have to go on a tty and return on the xorg session to have it showing something. Also, tty stay on the computer's screen, without going on the external. PS: I'm not sure at all that I have selected the good part, I apologize PPS: I'm not it is not a xorg problem
With the PPS you mean you are sure it is not an xorg problem? Because it looks like an issue with you video driver.
what does "xrandr -q" report? Does the same happen with other desktop (or even a bare session)? Is the backlight of the display on or is the display all black? I agree with Nick that it looks like an Xorg issue.
With the PPS I meant that I was not sure... It seem my thought was faster than my fingers, sorry for the typo. I didn't try on another DE, I will when I'll go back at home and install one (this evening I think) "xrandr -q" give me the following (without other screen connected, so I guess it is useless): Screen 0: minimum 320x200, current 1024 x 600, maximum 4096 x 4096 LVDS1 connected 1024x600+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 220mm x 129mm 1024x600 60.0*+ 65.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) I will restart the command at home, with the screen that give me the problem. I will try at lunch time to have result with another, too, if it can help.
I'm back. So, results with my 2 screens: Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1440 x 900, maximum 4096 x 4096 LVDS1 connected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1024x600 60.0 + 65.0 800x600 60.3 56.2 640x480 59.9 VGA1 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 255mm 1440x900 59.9*+ 75.0 1280x1024 75.0 60.0 1152x864 75.0 1024x768 75.1 70.1 66.0 60.0 832x624 74.6 800x600 72.2 75.0 60.3 56.2 640x480 72.8 75.0 66.7 66.0 60.0 720x400 70.1 I will now download an other DE (kde, because it's easier to know which packages I will need to remove :P ) and I'll give you results of the change. But it is not probable that I can try today, my connection is slow. (aptitude say 1H to download)
