[XFree86] Dual Head detection

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi!

I've got a notebook with second head capability. I managed to have my
second head working OK, but I have two layouts in my XF86Config-4, one
describing a single head setup, and one the two-head setup. I was wondering
if the X server had a way to detect that a second monitor is plugged in or
not, and choose a layout based on that.

What I'd like is :
 - not reboot the notebook
 - just restart the X-server (logging out is OK).

GFX:     radeom M6 LY
kernel:  2.4.22-ac2
XFree86: 4.3.99.11

At boot time, the fradeonfb detects the presence/abscence of a second monitor,
but will not update this at runtime. Is there a way to do this?

Regards,
Yann.
