Package: xserver-xfree86 
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10 
Severity: normal 
 
Hi there, 
 
most likely this is for the upstream developers, but they are at 4.4 and 
as far is I heard Sarge will never go there anyways. 
 
I use an IBM Thinkpad A20m. When I connect to an external display a clone 
doesn't work since the refresh rate is only 60hz, which is insufficiant 
for a CRT. With the option "nopanel_display" in XF86Config-4 as described 
in http://www.xfree86.org/current/ati5.html#16 the internal TFT of the 
laptop is switched off allowing for greater resolution and for higher 
refresh rates, which is much more important. 
 
When I disconnect the external CRT and restart the X server the internal 
display does not come back. Even if I power off the notebook completely 
and turn it back on the internal display remains blank on X. I have to 
comment out the option "nopanel_display" in XF86Config and restart the X 
server in order to get the internal display back on. 
 
This all does not apply to the console, which can be used without any 
problems and also reacts to Fn-F7 which switches between internal, 
external and display on both. Fn-F7 does not do anything in X. 
 
Thank You, 
 
Malte Schmidt-Tychsen

I am closing this bug since the submitter did not reply to the ping I
send a couple weeks ago. If anybody ever reproduces this problem, feel
free to reopen.
