DESCRIPTION
<PRE>
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.
