Hi there. I just newbiew in FreeBSD, but right when I start using it I just
install XFCE wm on FreeBSD 8.2, after using for a 3 month, I install new (not
upgrade) FreeBSD 9.2 and still using XFCE for about half year. Now, I install
new (not upgrade) FreeBSD 10, and again XFCE - very nice windows manager and
light weight witch the most important for my Dell d610 laptop (2004 year). But
one big issue: I always disable laptop screen and work only in addition
monitor, but sometimes needs to work in both screens. So when I enable laptop
screen there were blank dark screen on laptop with mouse arrow appear, on
second screen there were only picture of desctop with mouse arrow, which I can
move, but there were no response from buttons, or any actions, even
CTRL+ALT+BCKSP would work.
To bring all back, I should unplug second VGA cabble from laptop, reboot, enter
in XFCE, plug VGA cabble, then enable addition display, only that will bring
all alive.
Thanks for any help.
