I've got Fedora 14, xorg-x11-server-Xorg-1.9.4, on an old laptop with a
bad screen. I've attached a monitor to the vga port. When I boot up, all
the bios messages, and the console messages (that is, run level 3)
appear on the external monitor.
But when I start X, the external monitor goes blank. After a lot of
messing around, I realized that the "You are logging onto X as root, you
fool" dialog box was coming up on the laptop screen. With a lucky
combination of tab, space, enter, I cleared the dialog box, and X came
up on the external monitor.
Obviously, at least to me, any dialog box should come up on the correct
screen, but is this an X problem? A Fedora problem - did Fedora insert
this dialog box ? Or the intel driver?
Thanks,
sean
