More info from Aaron: Hi Bryce,
The nv driver doesn't get any notification when the hotkey is pressed. The VBIOS just changes the display settings out from under it, pretty much guaranteeing that they'll be messed up. -- Aaron So it sounds like this is an issue with the hardware's BIOS attempting to handle the display setting changes, and thus interfering with X's handling. So to fix it, what will be needed is something to detect that BIOS operation and generate an apci call for X to handle. -- Laptop screen displays only half after switching consoles with Fn+F8 https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/110648 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
