<pre>Hi Chris,
many thanks for the prompt reply. Unfortunately I only could capture the
dmesg log with a single monitor attached. I wrote a small script that writes
dmesg into a file:
dmesg > /home/torel/DualScreenIssue/dmesg_`date "+%Y_%m_%d_%H_%M_%S"`.log
I made this script run after gnome has started up (by adding it at
gnome-session-properties).
Once I rebooted the machine with _both_ monitors attached, I saw a dmesg
capture file of length 0! And I could not do anything on the UI anymore - on
the HDMI screen the cursor could move only on the left edge of the screen and
no mouse clicks were accepted (thats why I had to make this script run
automatically).
Answer to your other question: I don't use any dongle, I attach the monitors
via HDMI and DVI cables directly to the motherboard.
thx for looking into this,
Balazs</pre>
