Hi, forgot to mention that you have to CC: me as I'm not subsribed... Matthias Hopf wrote:

OK, >> I can
switch between external and panel display without problems. Good :-)
So the panel works from the beginning?
Yes, panel always works from startup. But if I don't have the external display connected at startup then the external display doesn't startup while the panel goes off. So I guess the panel always works correctly but when the external display goes off, both displays are off and then it's blind typing to get the panel back :-)
- Only panel connected at server startup: doesn't work. After first command panel goes off but external display doesn't switch on. The >second command restores the panel though.
Can you add --verbose to the commands and post the output?
See attached files. Only difference I see is in the display size: + /home/stefanb/laptop/xrandr/xrandr --verbose --output DVI-D_1 --mode 1280x720 --output PANEL --off crtc 0: disable -screen 0: 1280x720 260x146 mm 124.63dpi +screen 0: 1280x720 262x147 mm 124.05dpi crtc 1: 1280x720 60.0 +0+0 "DVI-D_1" + /home/stefanb/laptop/xrandr/xrandr --verbose --output DVI-D_1 --off --output PANEL --preferred crtc 1: disable -screen 0: 1400x1050 283x212 mm 125.26dpi +screen 0: 1400x1050 285x214 mm 124.41dpi crtc 0: 1400x1050 60.0 +0+0 "PANEL" I wonder if there is some overwriting happening on the EDID data?
