Bug#443585: switching to s-video sets LVDS and S-Video brightness to max and inverts colors
xrandr --output LVDS --off --output S-video --auto did not help until i rebooted and tried again. if i plug the s-video during a session and not while it was booting xrandr is not able to use s-video. what was even better is your other suggestion: xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 xrandr --output LVDS --off

Bug#443585: switching to s-video sets LVDS and S-Video brightness to max and inverts colors
yes, you can close it. a funny think thou... when i use Fn-F4 to switch to s-video (tv) and get the display distorted. i use the first 60.0 Hz mode (which distorts the display, normally) to fix the display ! it works only when i use the Fn keys, otherwise i use the second 60.0 Hz mode. since the S-video is reported disconnected i can't use grandr (gtk gui app) to switch from tv/laptop easily, so still it is a little problems (for my father, that is not familier with the cli xrandr) LVDS connected 1024x768+0+0 (0x4f) normal (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 0mm x 0mm Identifier: 0x4d Timestamp: 2349400 Subpixel: horizontal rgb Clones: CRTC: 0 CRTCs: 0 scaler: full backlight: 255 (0x00ff) range: (0,255) 1024x768 (0x4f) 65.0MHz -HSync -VSync h: width 1024 start 1048 end 1696 total 1344 skew0 clock 48.4KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 777 total 806 clock 60.0Hz 1024x768 (0x50) 65.0MHz -HSync -VSync h: width 1024 start 1048 end 1184 total 1344 skew0 clock 48.4KHz v: height 768 start 771 end 777 total 806 clock 60.0Hz 800x600 (0x51) 40.0MHz +HSync +VSync h: width 800 start 840 end 968 total 1056 skew0 clock 37.9KHz v: height 600 start 601 end 605 total 628 clock 60.3Hz 640x480 (0x52) 25.2MHz -HSync -VSync h: width 640 start 656 end 752 total 800 skew0 clock 31.5KHz v: height 480 start 490 end 492 total 525 clock 59.9Hz On 9/23/07, Brice Goglin [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Nadav Kavalerchik wrote: xrandr --output LVDS --off --output S-video --auto did not help until i rebooted and tried again. if i plug the s-video during a session and not while it was booting xrandr is not able to use s-video. what was even better is your other suggestion: xrandr --addmode S-video 800x600 xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600 xrandr --output LVDS --off So you're saying that once you workaround the S-video enabling problems (reported in other bug reports), switching the S-video using xrandr does avoid your brightness problems?

You might want to not use Fn4. These keys generally talk to the BIOS which change things in the back of the driver. So we can definitely expect some problems here. Could you try switching with xrandr instead? The following line should enable TV-out and disable LVDS: xrandr --output LVDS --off --output S-video --auto Brice -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.
