Hi, The newer version of ATI's fglrx driver comes with a utlity atieventsd which can generate hotplug (connect and disconnect) events for DFP (Digital Flat Panel displays connected via DVI connector). These events are passed to acpid which just passes them to powersaved. I am wondering how can I capture these events to execute my scripts when these events occur?
aticonfig --set-powerstate=1 Now, this works only if 1 monitor is connected. If both LCD display (lvds) and external DFP display (tmds1) are connected, the powerstate commands do not work. Hence, I would like this to happen automatically as much as possible. Specifically, I want to be able to automatically enable display to such connected DISPLAYs by doing aticonfig --enable-mointor=lvds,tmds1 whenever DFP is connected. And, I can do aticonfig --enable-monitor=lvds whenever DFP is disconnected. So, I would like to know if there are any "default" scripts that handles all the events that are not handled by some scripts? Thank you very much for your help in advance :). Osho PS: This is not directly related with saving power but it is related indirectly for 2 reasons: Not driving the DFP output when it has nothing connected to it saves power. I have configured powersave scripts to do the following whenever AC is connected aticonfig --set-powerstate=2 And, to do the following whenever AC is disconnected aticonfig --set-powerstate=1 Now, this works only if 1 monitor is connected. If both LCD display (lvds) and external DFP display (tmds1) are connected, the powerstate change commands do not work. Hence, I would like this to happen automatically as much as possible. _______________________________________________ powersave-devel mailing list [email protected] http://forge.novell.com/mailman/listinfo/powersave-devel
