getting aux display on laptop to be the only display
I have following hardware on my laptop: dmesg|grep vga vgapci0: VGA-compatible display port 0x6110-0x6117 mem 0x9000-0x903f,0x8000-0x8fff irq 16 at device 2.0 on pci0 agp0: Intel GM45 SVGA controller on vgapci0 vgapci1: VGA-compatible display mem 0x9450-0x945f at device 2.1 on pci0 vga0: Generic ISA VGA at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa-0xb on isa0 drm0: Mobile Intel\M-B\M-. GM45 Express Chipset on vgapci0 vgapci0: child drm0 requested pci_enable_busmaster and I have an extrtnal 21 widescreen (vga) that when I hook it up the default x11.config has it at 1024x768 on *BOTH* monitors How do I make it so X only considers the external (if attached) monitor? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
Re: getting aux display on laptop to be the only display
Laptop VGA cards are only two types: independently driven, or mirrored. The former is what allows the internal and external to display different things simultaneously. The latter is a 1:1 mirror image on one and other. All laptops I've seen when the external VGA is enabled are mirrored. Via VGA driver functions, you can make them independent. My guess for what you need is xrandr, to which I'm not very well versed. It seems to be the answer when it comes to video output layout, size, orientation... swiss army knife. I'm welcome to corrections and learning myself, but I would shoot for VGA driver and/or xrandr tweaking first. On 6/8/09, Aryeh M.

That did the trick for anyone else with the same setup put this in any of your personal rc's like .xsession: xrander --output LCVDS --off --output VGA --auto I'm welcome to corrections and learning myself, but I would shoot for VGA driver and/or xrandr tweaking first.
