Bug Report: XWin not repainting...

[Thomas Chadwick]

I have a ThinkPad laptop which has a built-in LCD screen as well as a 15-pin 
connector for an outboard monitor.  To switch between the 2, I hit Fn-F7 on 
the keyboard.  I've recently discovered that if I do so with the XWin X 
server visible, it turns to a blank white screen.  I need to do something 
that forces a repaint (like minimize/restore) to get back to something I can 
see.

I looked in the XWin.log file and see what looks like some kind of BitBlt 
error.  Here's the whole log up until I hit Fn-F7 the first time.
