------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2003-03-15 18:03 ------- I have a quite similar problem with my Dell C610 since 3 cooker version of XFree (but with new kernel too, may be the two are conflicting ?). Everything is OK on console, I can switch CRT/LCD/Both with the Dell Function Key (Fn) + F7 When I launch X, Fn + F7 make a little schmurtz on screen, but nothing really happens. The problem is that the CRT screen is keeping the resolution of console, I mean the desktop is bigger than the showed on screen. This was happening even before, but I was switching off/on CRT display to have all the desktop on screen... Also, if LCD was off, at the X start, it goes "gray" ;) like On but no image. I try to load the i8k module as I see in kernel config that it's for Dell laptop (and special keys), but everything was working before, without i8k module. Same problem with i8k module loaded. Also, about ACPI, it is not working well (no battery charge), even after disabled apci, and put in kernel the battery, fan and so on in kernel. The acpi-kernel and Xfree problem have appear quite at same period. ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is. ------- Reminder: ------- assigned_to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] status: NEW creation_date: description: Configuration: Toshiba 5205-S703 laptop, NVIDIA GeoForce 4 Go card I am not sure if this is a kernel, XFree or what problem. But here it is. If I turn on the crt_out after loading the toshiba_acpi module, and I am not running X, everythign works OK -- I get output both to my laptop screen and to the crt (which is what you want when giving a presentation at a podium). As long as I am at console level, I'm OK. If I type "startx" however, the lcd screen turns white and streaky while the windowing system displays fine on the crt. Thus, I can display windows on my lcd *or* on the crt, but not both. In addition, I cannot modify /proc/acpi/toshiba/video while windows is running. I have to get out of X, go back to console, change it there, and then get back into windows.
