This computer now has a 4.11.3 kernel on it. I went down to the lecture theatre just now with the apple VGA dongle and the situation is pretty different from when I first posted this. In all of the rooms where I could reproduce the problem, the projector switching system has been recently upgraded, so the newer kernel isn't the only difference. At the moment though, the apple dongle seems to work fine, as long as the dongle is plugged into the projector switch before its plugged into the laptop. If you plug the dongle in to the computer first, then plug the VGA cable in to the dongle afterwards, it doesn't work. If you'd like traces of those I can post them.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are on the CC list for the bug.</li> <li>You are the QA Contact for the bug.</li> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
