| 02:40.23 | pahartik | Hello _Trinity_ |
| 02:51.30 | _Trinity_ | hi |
| 02:52.27 | _Trinity_ | say has anyone tried to get the internal CRT of a iMac to not display signal while using the vga to a LCD monitor? |
| 02:53.17 | _Trinity_ | how od I do that? |
| 02:59.43 | _Trinity_ | I'm reading that a misconfigured xorg.conf will result in a black creen on the CRT but not on an external LCD |
| 03:08.27 | pahartik | _Trinity_: "xrandr" |
| 03:08.43 | _Trinity_ | thanks, I'll rdead up on it |

| 03:15.15 | _Trinity_ | xRandR doesn't support the Rage 128 card, just Radeon from ATI |
| 03:17.50 | pahartik | _Trinity_: Oh... |
| 03:25.59 | _Trinity_ | Im reading how these ubuntu guys are using xRandR and it seems they are usng it to just get the external working. Mine is owrking since it hardcoded by apple to so so |
| 03:26.09 | _Trinity_ | I just want to shut the CRT off |
| 03:26.33 | _Trinity_ | or rather nodt display anything |
| 03:31.55 | pahartik | _Trinity_: Have you tried to disable that "Monitor" in "/etc/X11/xorg.conf"? |
| 03:35.32 | _Trinity_ | by commenting out the monitor section? |
| 03:35.51 | _Trinity_ | not yet |
| 03:38.26 | pahartik | _Trinity_: 'Option "Enable" "false"' in "Monitor" section |
| 03:38.56 | _Trinity_ | ah, good stuff |
| 03:44.57 | _Trinity_ | I'll leave the V and H rates |
| 03:46.26 | pahartik | _Trinity_: Also, causing "out-of-sync-limits" situation could help, CRT would turn itself off... |
| 03:47.35 | _Trinity_ | yeah, that's wha I noticed when I tried v and h rates posted for the flower power iMac |
| 03:48.01 | _Trinity_ | wuth my iMac DV. But the question of frying my CRT came to mind |
| 03:48.31 | _Trinity_ | it went black, which is what I want but I didn't know if it ws safe or really off |
| 03:49.10 | _Trinity_ | but if we can assume it went black b/c it shut itself off, it'll save power too --which is one objective of mine |
| 03:49.13 | pahartik | _Trinity_: "too low" is probably better than "too high", as it should cause circuits warm up less... |
| 03:49.25 | _Trinity_ | this is what I did... |
| 03:50.35 | _Trinity_ | I've always made my iMac DV work with H 58-62/V 75-117 |
| 03:51.15 | _Trinity_ | btu I tried H 60-60/V60-75 once and got a black screen on the CRT |
| 03:51.45 | _Trinity_ | so that's what I assume you're to, a low Vertrefresh rate |
| 03:52.18 | pahartik | _Trinity_: If CRT turns off, I would consider it safe... Only crappy early multisync and some fixed-sync monitors are in danger, AFAIK |
| 03:55.02 | _Trinity_ | I'll still get terminal --I assume-- with the Options "Enable" "false" |
| 03:55.05 | _Trinity_ | lo |
| 03:55.07 | _Trinity_ | l |
| 03:57.22 | _Trinity_ | "I'll be back" |
