In order to use the CRT, this *must* be connected when X starts and you should 'startx' from a console *on* the CRT (I mean, boot on console, switch to CRT with Fn+F8 and then log in and 'startx'). I don't know any other way to change the XF86Config-4 values while X is running, even if I know this is possible (at least for the Synaptics TouchPad on/off). > Another possibility would be to figure out how to fix the keyboard hotkey > FnF8, which should turn on the crt but is buggy, [...] Well, the Fn+F8 isn't completely buggy, it turns on the CRT but only the CRT, I mean, not LCD+CRT. So, I think it's not a Fn+F8 problem. > [...] or how to fix i810switch, > which activates the crt by writing to a location in /dev/mem but drives the > crt at a frequency that is out of range. Yes, this should be a good idea, but I don't have the capacity to do so. > Could this be used to fix i810switch? Could we program SXGA+ resolution > without relying on the BIOS? IMHO this is done by the Windows driver to manage SXGA+. So there's a way to do the same on GNU/Linux, but again I don't have the capacities. > =============== > (--) PCI:*(0:2:0) Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device rev 2, > Mem @ 0xf0000000/27, 0xffa80000/19, I/O @ 0xdc00/3 > (--) PCI: (0:2:1) Intel Corp. 82852/855GM Integrated Graphics Device rev 2, > Mem @ 0xe8000000/27, 0xff980000/19 These are the 2 video devices added in your XF86Config-4 (and mine, too), but the external CRT works even if you've just one device. I think we need the 2 to have LCD+CRT on different resolutions (not in mirror mode, but desktop extended with Xinerama), but ATM I can't get them working. > (II) I810(0): No active displays on Pipe A. > (II) I810(0): Currently active displays on Pipe B: > (II) I810(0): LFP (local flat panel) This is my normal situation if I use the internal LCD (as from the LCD log I attached). On the other hand, from the CRT log I've exactly the contrary (active Pipe A). As I wrote above, you should have the CRT active on a pipe to use it on X.
