Dear Experts,
I'm trying to work out how to get console video out toggling working on
my ASUS EEE 901 (running Debian). I get the feeling that I may be the
first person to try to do this, and I knew almost nothing about ACPI
until a couple of hours ago. Can anyone help?
Output toggling for X works fine, but that doesn't use ACPI.
well, ACPI control method for video output switching seldom works.
And we use xrandr to switch the display in X.
I'm not sure but I'm afraid we don't have the plan to support video
output switch in console mode.
As far as I can see, the code already exists in the kernel to support
this. The problem is that this BIOS doesn't define the necessary
methods (unless I've misunderstood something). When you say "don't plan
to support", do you mean that the existing kernel functionality is now
deprecated, or something?
Thanks, Phil.
