yes, you can close it. a funny think thou... when i use Fn-F4 to switch to s-video (tv) and get the display distorted. i use the first 60.0 Hz mode (which distorts the display, normally) to fix the display ! it works only when i use the Fn keys, otherwise i use the second 60.0 Hz mode.
since the S-video is reported disconnected i can't use grandr (gtk gui app) to switch from tv/laptop easily, so still it is a little problems (for my father, that is not familier with the cli xrandr) LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (0x4f) normal (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm Identifier: 0x4d Timestamp: 2349400 Subpixel: horizontal rgb Clones: CRTC: 0 CRTCs: 0 scaler: full backlight: 255 (0x000000ff) range: (0,255) 1024x768 (0x4f) 65.0MHz -HSync -VSync h: width 1024 start 1048 end 1696 total 1344 skew 0 clock 48.4KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 777 total 806 clock 60.0Hz 1024x768 (0x50) 65.0MHz -HSync -VSync h: width 1024 start 1048 end 1184 total 1344 skew 0 clock 48.4KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 777 total 806 clock 60.0Hz 800x600 (0x51) 40.0MHz +HSync +VSync h: width 800 start 840 end 968 total 1056 skew 0 clock 37.9KHz v: height 600 start 601 end 605 total 628 clock 60.3Hz 640x480 (0x52) 25.2MHz -HSync -VSync h: width 640 start 656 end 752 total 800 skew 0 clock 31.5KHz v: height 480 start 490 end 492 total 525 clock 59.9Hz On 9/23/07, Brice Goglin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Nadav Kavalerchik wrote: > > > > > > xrandr --output LVDS --off --output S-video --auto > > > > did not help until i rebooted and tried again. > > if i plug the s-video during a session and not while it was booting > > xrandr is not able to use s-video. > > > > what was even better is your other suggestion: > > xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 > > xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 > > xrandr --output LVDS --off > > So you're saying that once you workaround the S-video enabling problems > (reported in other bug reports), switching the S-video using xrandr does > avoid your brightness problems?
