Hi altman,

This is the xfce/hdmi issue Wink
There appears to be a fix, but not sure how to apply/do it.?
I may try posting in the referenced thread.
But that seems focused on the Bug/Fix/Verification, rather than a How To.

I have another thread on WiFi.

Quick update on the xfce/HDMI issue

> Have asked the question on bugzilla.xfce on how to apply the fix, no response yet.
> Did another test with a live boot of another xfce distro, Antix-MX14, and that works fine, do not loose the desktop.

Hi,

I'm sure it would,
Now I know what the issue is, I tried doing a Live boot of LL 2.0 & 2.2,
and the problem is the same, if I remove HDMI, I loose the xfce desktop.

It's something I would never of thought of doing during a Live boot, remove HDMI cable.
