Hi Steve! Ah! xvidtune! I'm surprised it took so long for someone to name the command that I was looking for. Is this what yast's graphics and display module is using to do what it does?
I'm typing this atm under X.Org X Server 1.7.2, using the RadeonHD driver with a RHD 4350 connected to a single DVI display under Arch. When I type 'xvidtune' with no extra parameters in an xterm all I get is: Unable to query monitor info Is this a fault of the radeonhd driver, xorg, vidtune or my monitor? Also, unless I'm mis-understand things, reading the man page for xvidtune says nothing of how you would use it to configure additional displays. Have you simply got to run it on the display you are trying to configure? As I've already stated, my main need for this is to configure external HDMI displays- I was looking for my HDMI cable on the weekend but I suspect my housemates son has half-inched it so looks like I'll have to get another before I can try testing xvidtune with my poulsbo. Should xvidtune be able to do what I want or will (external) HDMI/DVI displays confuse it?
