• Following https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=4128 (towards bottom) disabled hardware acceleration and smooth scrolling in firefox. Done this after a freeze (ultraslow behavior) at home (no dock), when visiting an open firefox tab on a downloaded large pdf file. Got (EE) [mi] EQ overflowing in Xorg.0.log and was cured by killing firefox. Let's see.
• From docK or beamer remember to switch bac. k to single head (disengage or unplug) before closing the lid. Also check restart of network. The gnome-session-fallback applet is not working properly?

 click long on the clockwork icon and then release to display choice, the one you chose remains as default
