I have a real quirky problem that has been bugging the c**p out of me. I have a 15" powerbook and a 20" cinema display. The way I normally use my pb is that I use my cinema display with my pb screen closed. The problem that I have is that everytime I disconnect my pb from my cinema display or visa versa my screen background picture is lost and all I get is a blue background screen. This is quite annoying since I disconnect and reconnect my pb from my cinema display on a daily basis. And if I want a background image I have to reset it every time.

Any ideas on how to solve this problem? Oh I'm running Mac OS 10.3.9.

this is bugging me to... except i get a all black screen since i am using filevault...

I have to sleep my machine then wake it up again to fix this.

I have a 20" apple pinstripe (old) lcd with the dvi adapter... is that what you are using?

I have a brand spanking new Apple cinema display and a brand spanking new 15" PB. And yes I have mine plugged into the DVI port.

Putting my computer to sleep and waking it up doesn't help me one bit. About the only other thing that helps is doing a reboot.
