As an aside: The mailing lists that is configured such that replies go
to the individuals rather than the list are optimized for the atypical
case. I don't care if it's technically more correct or not, it's a dumb
way of doing things.
I don't run Linux so that I can claim to run Linux. I run Linux because
I prefer it. If you prefer something else, then you should run that. I
don't care what you do.

I am using GNOME also but seriously I doubt my productivity has
increased because of it.
Are us Linux users fooling ourselves?

I have a Dell laptop with one of those dual video chips in it
(Intel and ATI) and I normally run the fglrx driver for Xorg and
Debian GNU/Linux unstable. This computer has a VGA port for
connecting an external monitor, and when I connect a monitor to
the port, I get a nice dual-headed display which I can configure
through the gnome tool. However, it will often spontaneously
change the configuration, most often to "mirrored" or sometimes it
will turn one or the other display off. Sometimes, it will cycle
rapidly through the options until it settles on one which could be
any one of the four options. This seems to be often related to
striking keys on the keyboard or moving the mouse but I have
observed that it has happened when the computer is untouched.
Although I have observed that that it occurs with the fglrx
driver, it also happens with the Intel driver, so I don't think
it's an Xorg driver thing. Since I don't know what to make of
this, I'm starting here and asking if anyone knows how to proceed.
I am, of course, able to answer whatever questions you may have.
