Forcing the disconnection of the S-video with xrandr does not seem to help neither. Sometime the S-video re-appears as connected, and even when it does not, there is still a "No valid modes" error in the log. Anyway. I wonder if this is really the reason (note that my analysis may be totally stupid, all this xorg.conf tweaking remains a bit of an arcane science to me). With xserver-xorg-video-ati_6.6.3, forcing the detection with Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT" and the HSync and VRefresh did not help, even if there was indeed something outputed to the external screen. As described in my initial bug report, starting an application on the second display resulted in a weird drawing partly on the external screen, partly on the main screen. Or are you assuming that this first bug was solved in the 6.7.192 and there may be another one with the S-video ? Cheers, P.S. I am not so familiar with bug-reporting, hence have no idea if that sort of not-so-clear mail should also be sent to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- François Fleuret http://www.idiap.ch/~fleuret
