using the Fn-F4 keys i can switch the tv output into 1024x768 mode , BUT it's buggy as i reported a bug about it (display gets distorted) so i don't use it.
i'm just mentioning it to say that the s-video output can probably support 1024x768. with Xv version 2.2 the XV_SWITCHCRT syntax changed (i think) and correct syntax is probably... xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1 (although the min/max values seems like a true/false boolean ?) Name: XV_CRTC Flags: XvGettable XvSettable Min value: -1 Max value: 1 Current value: -1 to play video with overly support on s-video (tv) i used : xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1 to play video with overly support on LVDS (laptop) i used : xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 0 they didn't work on both displays simultaneously :-( but that seems ok :-) On 9/23/07, Brice Goglin <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Nadav Kavalerchik wrote: > > > > > > | xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600| > > | xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600| > > > > > > works great :-) > > > > and stays this way too. no after effects when i use the mouse or the > > keyboard. > > Good to know.
