When Fedora 15 [x86_64] is booting on my laptop, it starts on the
laptop screen, then it throws the startup splash screen on my second
monitor. When it finishes booting, it no longer can detect the
second monitor.<br>
<br>
Why can Fedora 15 see both monitors, laptop screen and external
monitor, during the boot process then when finished booting can no
longer detect second external monitor. Is this a problem with the
kernel, modules, drivers, desktop, hardware?<br>
<br>
I have tried connecting the external monitor directly to the laptop
with an HDMI connector and through an USB Docking Station using DVI.<br>
