Re: External screen
Hello!
My old laptop is the same as yours, running debian testing/sid with an
ATI card and the radeon drivers. I always have a 17" LCD plugged as
external monitor (and yes, sometimes I plug it WHILE the computer is
running) without any problems. Which video card is in your laptop?
I have to say that the one I've received from my employeer is running
intel and this behavior that you describe happens also to me when I plug
an external monitor.

I have a Dell Latitute E6410 and have a mixture of Testing and Sid on
it. Recently I got an external Dell flatscreen.
It happened several times now that when I connect the screen to my
computer while it is running, it freezes and I have to push the power
button two switch if off. This does not not always happens
immediately. It happens nearly 100% of the time that I want to use
the option from the Gnome menus to (re)configure the screens. I have
more success using the following script to activate the external
screen but it also leaded to a frozen computer several times:
#!/bin/sh
sudo xrandr --output DP1 --auto
sudo xrandr --output VGA1 --auto --above DP1
It is a bit frustrating. Does anyone else have the same problem?
It seems to me that the more Debian (or Linux for that matter)
develops it more and more becomes as unstable as the operating system
I was using 16 years ago before Windows 95 (which I never installed on
my computers) : Windows 3.1.
