How to test
In this test day, we want to find small and large issues that ruin the user experience of working with different displays. So in short, you should exercise the display configuration aspects of the desktop. The primary tool is gnome-display-properties, in the menus under System → Preferences → Display. Another important interface to the display configuration system is the 'display' key (the key that produces the XF86Display keysym). On many laptops, this is the key combination Fn-F7.
Here are some things to look at:
- Does boot work as expected with multiple displays ?
- Does the login screen cope with multiple displays ?
- Does the desktop 'fall apart' when a new display is plugged in ?
- Do fullscreen apps handle extra displays in a good way ?
- Does presentation software do the right thing with projectors ?
