Dual monitor - works when boot, but not when re-dock...

#1 Post by dcipher » Thu Mar 05, 2009 10:41 am

I'm running iDeneb 10.5.4 on my T60p and have a couple of minor issues, but this one is pretty annoying...
If i boot with an external monitor connected to the vga port, everything works great. However, If i disconnect the monitor and reconnect it later, it just goes black. The system seems to see it, but the monitor won't go on. I then have to reboot to get the monitor to turn on. I have tried 2 different monitors, so I don't think it's the monitor's fault, plus this worked fine when running XP.

Does anyone know of a way to "restart" the video drivers? I wouldn't mind if i had to run a script when reconnecting a monitor, but the need to reboot really irritates me...

thanks!
