Package: hal Version: 0.5.10-5 Severity: normal My Dell D420 does not turn off the screen when it is on AC AND docked to the media base AND the BIOS settings regarding priority of video card are default.
docked and on battery: it works. undocked and on AC, it works. There is an easy fix. To fix it, change the BIOS setting to use onboard video. The media-base is a mini-docking station and does not have a video card, but it does enable an external monitor using DVI to be attached. I guess this is linked to HAL. I wanted to document it somewhere because other Dell D420 users may come across it. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.24-1-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_AU.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_AU.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages hal depends on: ii adduser 3.105 add and remove users and groups ii dbus 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii hal-info 20071212-2 Hardware Abstraction Layer - fdi f ii libc6 2.7-6 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdbus-1-3 1.1.2-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.74-1 simple interprocess messaging syst ii libexpat1 1.95.8-4 XML parsing C library - runtime li ii libgcc1 1:4.3-20080202-1 GCC support library ii libglib2.0-0 2.14.5-2 The GLib library of C routines ii libhal-storage1 0.5.10-5 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libhal1 0.5.10-5 Hardware Abstraction Layer - share ii libsmbios1 0.13.10-1 Provide access to (SM)BIOS informa ii libstdc++6 4.3-20080202-1 The GNU Standard C++ Library v3 ii libusb-0.1-4 2:0.1.12-9 userspace USB programming library ii libvolume-id0 0.114-2 libvolume_id shared library ii lsb-base 3.1-24 Linux Standard Base 3.1 init scrip ii mount 2.13.1-1 Tools for mounting and manipulatin ii pciutils 1:2.2.9-2 Linux PCI Utilities ii pm-utils 0.99.2-3 utilities and scripts for power ma ii udev 0.114-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo ii usbutils 0.73-5 Linux USB utilities Versions of packages hal recommends: ii eject 2.1.5-6 ejects CDs and operates CD-Changer pn libsmbios-bin <none> (no description available) -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
