Public bug reported: Binary package hint: xorg
Almost every time I use xrandr to setup my monitors I get garbled, unusable desktop. The system remains perfectly working (no lockups, mouse pointer visible and working, desktop responsive to inputs: I could continue use it blindly). With some more details: - If I change the configuration of a monitor, I get the garbled desktop. Reverting to previous configuration does not work (still garbled). Sometimes I got an usable desktop (blindly) configuring monitors with very low resolutions (800x600 or 640x480). - The issue often occurs even doing a simple xrandr query (with CLI or opening the GUI). - If I start my laptop with the external monitor plugged, gdm starts fine (with low resolution on both monitors, though), gnome starts fine with both monitors well working at right resolution (1280x800+0+224, 1280x1024+1280+0). Changing the configuration of a monitor triggers the issue. As a side node, things work perfectly with Fedora 13 Beta live DVD (apart from xorg crash when rotating a monitor at maximum resolution). So the issue maybe related to xorg 1.7.6 and solved in xorg 1.8.
