Hi, I attached a VGA monitor to my ThinkPad R50e. Xrandr seems to work well under Linux 2.6.38-rc6, the Intel DRM driver does what I want, for example: $ xrandr Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1920 x 1848, maximum 2048 x 2048 LVDS1 connected 1024x768+0+1080 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm 1024x768 60.0*+ 85.0 75.0 70.1 60.0* 43.5 [...] VGA1 connected 1920x1080+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 477mm x 268mm 1920x1080 60.0*+ [...] at the same time, however, /proc/acpi/ibm/video indicates that only the lcd (LVDS1) output is active: $ cat /proc/acpi/ibm/video status: supported lcd: enabled crt: disabled dvi: disabled auto: disabled commands: lcd_enable, lcd_disable commands: crt_enable, crt_disable commands: dvi_enable, dvi_disable commands: auto_enable, auto_disable commands: video_switch, expand_toggle Or maybe I misunderstand something, but definitely both outputs are enabled and actively used under X. Clarifications on the matter welcome; my aim is to configure the video switch hotkey (Fn+F7) properly. Thanks, Feri. $ dmesg | fgrep thinkpad [ 1.540434] thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad ACPI Extras v0.24 [ 1.542839] thinkpad_acpi: http://ibm-acpi.sf.net/ [ 1.545210] thinkpad_acpi: ThinkPad BIOS 1WET90WW (2.10 ), EC 1VHT28WW-1.04 [ 1.547595] thinkpad_acpi: IBM ThinkPad R50e, model 1834S5G [ 1.558516] PM: Adding info for platform:thinkpad_acpi [ 1.558596] PM: Adding info for platform:thinkpad_hwmon [ 1.559335] thinkpad_acpi: detected a 8-level brightness capable ThinkPad [ 1.572818] PM: Adding info for No Bus:thinkpad_screen [ 1.572862] thinkpad_acpi: brightness: will use unverified default: brightness_mode=3 [ 1.575329] thinkpad_acpi: brightness: please report to ibm-acpi-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx whether it works well or not on your ThinkPad [ 1.587429] thinkpad_acpi: Console audio control enabled, mode: monitor (read only) [ 1.597402] input: ThinkPad Extra Buttons as /devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/input/input6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Free Software Download: Index, Search & Analyze Logs and other IT data in Real-Time with Splunk.
