X turns off my laptop lcd when a CRT monitor is plugged
Last modified: 2005-09-30 12:07:33 UTC
When X starts, it turns off my CRT monitor and there is no way of turning it on again. It's annoying because i want to use both monitor, sometimes to display the same content and sometimes for dual head. It turns off on both configurations (dual head and same content on both screens). My laptop has an key to turn it on, but it doesn't work. The only way to work around this is to turn off the CRT (it can remain plugged, but turned off), start X and the turn it on.
Please attach /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /var/log/Xorg.0.log.
