[K12OSN] graphics problems w/ multiple SCREENs

[Rob Owens]

I've confirmed the following:

1) This problem exists on two different computers (both computers have
the same make/model of lcd monitor, but different video cards)

2) This problem occurs *sometimes* on a laptop that's being used as a
thin client.  When the problem occurs on this laptop, the graphics are
only slightly messed up (a black bar across the bottom of the screen).
Toggling back to SCREEN_01 then back to SCREEN_02 usually corrects it.

3) This problem does not occur on my home system, which is LTSP 4.2 on
Xubuntu 6.10

I'll test out more machines and post back.  Let me know if any of you
have any ideas...

Subject: [K12OSN] graphics problems w/ multiple SCREENs

I'm running K12LTSP 5.0.0EL
 
SCREEN_01 = startx
SCREEN_02 = rdesktop -f -a 16 10.xxx.xxx.xxx
SCREEN_03 = shell
 
All screens work fine, but if I log in to the Windows terminal server on
SCREEN_02, then go to SCREEN_01, then back to SCREEN_02, the graphics
are unreadable on SCREEN_02.
 
I can "fix" it by toggling to SCREEN_03 and then back to SCREEN_02 --
the graphics go back to normal.
 
Any idea what I can do to fix this?
