Hi All Please CC me, if you respond: I'm not subscribed to this list.
I'm looking for a way to run xrandr on a remote client after logging in to this client via ssh, and manipulate * 1 the remote clients internal display * 2 the remote clients external display (VGA/TV etc ...) I need this ssh fallback in case the remote client's X is crashing, or simply being switched off, while running screen cloning tests on that client ... I had one instance where the remote machine's display was switched off, together with a VGA screen that the former was attached to. All that would be left then, IINM, would be to shut down the remote computer via ssh. I'd like to avoid this complete shutdown, just switching on or off the remote client's display, or the external monitor if it is attached to one, would be really helpful. Glitches aside, my ssh environment, IINM, seems to be set up fine, both server- and client-side: I can run on my local X-server a remotely, client-side installed older version of mplayer and play a (remote) video .. And everything seems fine, save the fact that I hear sound on the remote machine, while I see the video part of the file on the local X display ... :) But when I ssh into the remote client and do, e.g., a 'xrandr -q' I'm getting returned the values for the local X display server instead of those for the remote one ... Thanks in anticipation Best Regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Pfeiffer: /ICQ: 286585973/ + + + /AIM: crashinglinux/ http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer Key: 0xE3037113 http://keyserver.mine.nu/pks/lookup?search=0xE3037113&fingerprint=on _______________________________________________ xorg-driver-ati mailing list [email protected] http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-driver-ati
