There is a delay when switching before the display comes up - 3-5 seconds maybe? But that is every time I switch. And in my case the monitor isn't in standby - the delay is just the switch-over (I assume the delay is caused by HDMI negotiations, X and/or video driver figuring out the monitor that just got connected, etc.). I was hoping to force the resolution in the X config and the KDE config, so that at least it couldn't confuse itself anymore. Maybe I succeeded in doing so, but have been too focused on the "zoom" issue to realize? _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
