Hi Particlese,
In my case the problem was solved by updating xorg-video-intel package
up to 2.5.1 version following some magic words in the xorg.conf.
Please, try to update that package.
Also I can confirm that 2.6.1 version is working well (fix for blank VGA
also included). My Aspire One laptop
Phil, you have missed option that I suggest :)
Try this:
Section Device
Identifier Configured Video Device
Driver intel
# VideoRam 16384
# It turns off disabling pipa A by a driver after while.
# Its 100 % working workaround.
Option ForceEnablePipeA true
Option ModeDebug yes
Option
I've tried 2.5.1 and the issue was fixed with switching off an external VGA.
Also I append option ForceEnablePipeA true into device section in the
xorg.conf. It works well for me on Acer Aspire One netbook.
