I have an old Toshiba Satellite 110CS laptop. I am using XFree86 3.3.6. Does anyone know if the SVGA server using the ct65548 chipset can be used to power the internal LCD screen and an external Sony VPL-X600U LCD Data Projector at the same time?
The LCD projector didn't work with my working XF86Config (which works for the laptop's LCD). The projector said "Frequency out of range" when under X. (It displayed the console, non-X mode fine.) I am unable to find any "Monitor" specifications for the LCD projector via sony.com. Sony's website is unusable for a couple web browsers I've tried. I found some specifications at http://www.francisav.com/vplx600u.htm; it says: Acceptable signal: fH: 15, 24 to 81 kHz, fV: 43 to 85 Hz I am guessing that it can support standard VESA modes. (I don't have the projector available to test at this time.) Should I also try the "IBM Standards + other generic modes" (as found in modeDB.txt)? (I guess it won't hurt try them all.) So I made a XF86Config using the VESA Modelines that I found in the xfree86/doc/modeDB.txt file. My laptop's LCD monitor seems fine with: HorizSync 15.5,24-81 VertRefresh 43-85 Modeline "800x600a" 40 800 840 968 1056 600 601 605 628 I see that the modeDB.txt file lists some Horizontal Sync kHz for these VESA modes. Should I use these following VESA settings? HorizSync 35.1,37.9,48,48.4,56.5 Or just use the settings suggested by the projector's spec? Is there any suggested standard or VESA settings for the vertical refresh frequency range? Is there anyway to make my internal LCD screen use different configurations than the external Monitor so they can both be used at the same time? I am hoping to try 1024x768 on the external projector even though it doesn't work on the internal monitor. I was able to use 1024x768 on an external monitor (projector not tried yet) by using the Function-F5 key to turn off the laptop's LCD. I couldn't find any switch or option to choose which XF86Config to use. So to change configs do you just copy a new XF86Config in to place? Thanks, Jeremy C.
