Thats an issue I had with Panther on my Powerbook G4

Iam still on 10.2.8 with the same problem. Is there any easy workaround available?



Since upgrading to Tiger this no longer happens.

Let me ask about general experiences with X functionality when upgrading to Tiger (this may be a stupid question, but I am not familiar with technical "details"):


Can I be confident that all my current X-applications (under Xdarwin on 10.2.8, most of them installed via fink) will be working fine with Tigers X, or do I have to go through a tricky updating/configuration marathon with my apps?? I cannot really afford to spend too much time on that now...

Thanks,
Joe

I am using a laptop which I regularly plug into external displays - unless
aqua is set up to "mirror" displays either adding or removing a display can
lead to all sorts of badness if X11 is running (lost mouse, blank screen,
totally dead computer amongst the symptoms). Is this normal? Is there a way
to (dis)connect screens without badness while running X11?


It is quite frustrating and it seems to mean that using X11 for presentation
purposes is out (since to avoid badness X11 needs to be started after the
displays are configured and this takes a long time).



Thanks,

SA
