In fact I ended up adding to an existing bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=456680 Note that the original bug was filed against Xorg-1.4.99, which I had no problems with, but it got me when I updated to Xorg-1.5 (from updates-testing). The bug seems to be related to the new(ish) evdev input device handler, which replaces the old kb and mouse handlers and is set to become standard in F10 according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/EvdevInputDriver so I have my fingers crossed :-) However AFAIK this doesn't seem related to problems with monitors. poc -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
