Hello. I am trying to get the different display modes working with my portege M400 laptop. Im running 2.6.32 with the toshiba_acpi module. the problem is that when i do: echo "lcd_out:0;crt_out:1" > /proc/acpi/toshiba/video cat /proc/acpi/toshiba/video i get: lcd_out: 1 crt_out: 0 tv_out: 0 I am following the guide at http://memebeam.org/toys/ToshibaAcpiDriver. Why does the state of the crt_out variable not change? the kernel file where this is handled is: kernel/drivers/portability/ x86/toshiba_acpi.c. I have the same problem as these guys here: http://osdir.com/ml/linux.hardware.toshiba/2003-04/msg00216.html I tried doing what was suggested at that link, but that did not work either. Is there a known bug where the state of the driver (as seen by cat /proc/acpi/toshiba/video) is not updated by writing to it(echo "lcd_out:0;crt_out:1" > /proc/acpi/toshiba/video)? It seems that the state written to this file is not persistant. I have posted my problem in full detail here (http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-laptop-and-netbook-25/tvout-from-toshiba-portege-m400-777822/). thanks. -- Neil Sikka -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-acpi" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
