Description jim 2007-11-14 03:48:11 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.8)
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs
OS:                Linux

DESCRIPTION 
I ran 'software updater' today and restarted my machine.  The second monitor
started blinking on and off at about a one second rate.

Eventually I figured out that if I end the KDE session and log in using GNOME
that everything is just fine.

It is only under KDE that the monitor blinks on and off.

VERSION: Fedora 7 (with Nov 13 updates)

HOW REPRODUCIBLE: Happens every time

HARDWARE INFORMATION

LAPTOP PC MODEL: Toshiba Satellite M45-S269

SECOND VIDEO CARD ADAPTER: I use two different VGA adapters, one at work and one
at home.  I plug them into my laptop USB port.
   Work VGA Adapter: Targus ACP50US
   Home VGA Adapter: USB2.0VGA

NOTES:
1) Everything was working fine until I ran software updater today. 
2) I have tried four different monitors and all act the same way.
3) I use two different USB-VGA adapters (see above).  KDE blinks the display the
same for either adapter.
4) If I use GNOME, everthing is just fine.

Kdesktop is no more mantained. Fortunatly this bug seems not to be valid for
KDE 4. Please reopen if this bug is not a kdesktop one (and it is not solved)
or it can be reproduced on KDE 4.

Thanks.
