As it happens I noticed that my TV out also stopped working recently. However, I run ATI not nvidia. I blamed the latest xorg-server for it and left it at that. When I run xrandr, just like you, I only see the laptop's screen: ========================================== $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.0* 320x175 60.0 320x200 60.0 360x200 60.0 320x240 60.0 400x300 60.0 512x384 60.0 832x624 60.0 ========================================== xrandr --output --auto doesn't change things and xrandr --output TV --on brings up the --help page. Anyone else noticed this & found a fix? -- Regards, Mick
