Hi again,
Following up on my previous problem (described below), I've run into
this situation:
Use my laptop without external attachments, then hibernate.
Connect the laptop to the docking station with external monitor
attached.
Resume: the screen colors are distorted, making text barely legible.
Hibernate and resume, leaving the laptop connected to the docking
station:
colors are fine, I just need to run grandr to fix the screen size.
This is slightly better than having to restart X to correct the colors
on my monitor, but I'd still like to avoid this extra hibernate/resume
cycle if possible. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Tyler
