| 17:21.41 | _Trinity_ | hey pahartik: I tried almost everything and couldn't get the monitor to turn off while keeping the external working. |
| 17:21.55 | _Trinity_ | if you recall frm two days ago |
| 17:22.58 | _Trinity_ | the only way I could get it to work is by commenting out the vertical and horizontal settings |
| 17:23.13 | _Trinity_ | but that took me to a 600 by 600 |
| 17:25.00 | Bor_Ed | _Trinity_: using desktop environment? you might want to try grandr app to turn the display off |
| 17:25.46 | _Trinity_ | no., I'm using lxde overlayed onto a server install |
| 17:27.36 | _Trinity_ | I've tried gnome's monitor utility with some setup? Testing? ubuntu and it didn't seem to pickup on the 2nd monitor, anyway. |
| 17:27.47 | _Trinity_ | I'm using lenny now |
| 17:28.18 | _Trinity_ | on the good side, I |
| 17:30.02 | _Trinity_ | 've fiddled so much with my xorg.conf that the quality of mage is looking really good on both --was getting ghost-like shadowing on the external monitor and thought it was attributle to a cheap cable |
| 17:30.14 | _Trinity_ | it wasn't |
| 17:33.33 | Bor_Ed | all I do to get 2nd monitor up is that I power it on and cycle through XDM, it picks the other up but with weird settings (43Hz refresh mainly) so I fix it with grandr |
| 17:37.39 | _Trinity_ | my 2nd is already up. It's mirroring the internal CRT. The only way I can get the crt to not display anything is to wipe the C and H settings, but yeah --like your initial setup-- it displays at a wierd setting |
| 17:37.50 | _Trinity_ | C=V |
| 17:38.13 | _Trinity_ | Might grandr help? |
| 17:38.57 | _Trinity_ | I guess I shuold setup two displays in my xorg.conf. |
| 17:40.39 | Bor_Ed | I have mirroring of the main display on 2nd too but it's way out of the screen specs, that's why I 'kick' it with grandr |
| 17:40.59 | _Trinity_ | the r128 allow for having one "off" and the other displaying. I couldn't get it to work prior but I didn't figure that it would depend on having both screens accounted for in the xorg.conf. Duh! |
| 17:43.10 | Bor_Ed | play a little with grandr, afaik, r128 has dual output |
| 17:44.54 | _Trinity_ | yeah it does and apple configured the iMac DV to "hardcode" it to mirroring --which I hope can be bypassed |
| 17:47.08 | _Trinity_ | wait a sec, grandr is xrandr for gnome. IT says on the randr homepage that it supports radeon |
| 17:48.02 | _Trinity_ | and I remember reading some ubuntu forum post about some guy fruitlessly trying to make it work |
| 17:48.14 | Bor_Ed | aww bugger then.. |
| 17:48.49 | _Trinity_ | with the r128, Rage 128 |
| 17:48.52 | Bor_Ed | I use it with radeon 9200 on b&w g3 but apparently it won't work with r128 then |
| 17:49.20 | _Trinity_ | the way I see it I have two options |
| 17:51.17 | _Trinity_ | one: wipe out the V and H settings, which doesn't send anything to my CRT but throws the external into 800 x 600 --and trying to bypass or correct this default |
| 17:52.11 | _Trinity_ | and trying rying to list bother monitors in xorg.conf and using the Option "Display" "FP" setting |
| 17:54.18 | _Trinity_ | the problem with the second is that X doesn't seem to respond to two settings that should assist in this, namely, the one mentioend aboev and Option "Enable" "false" |
| 17:54.44 | _Trinity_ | but maybe this will change by listing another monitor in xotg.conf |
| 18:02.48 | Bor_Ed | hmm, time to hit the sack here.. wake up in 6 hours |
| 18:03.04 | _Trinity_ | g' night |
| 18:03.28 | Bor_Ed | later |
