Hi 12" people on this list:
I've had success with the minDVI->DVI adapter for my pbook-12" and an
external monitor with DVI input, I used this flags in the device
section:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA out"
Driver "nv"
#BusID "PCI:0:16:0"
Option "CrtcNumber" "0" # 0 is external crt
Option "FlatPanel" "1" # 0 is external crt
EndSection
The main advantage over miniDVI->VGA adapter for me is that I can have
both text-based-consoles (VT1, VT2, etc...) and the graphics console on
the external monitor (with the miniDVI->VGA adapter the text consoles
are shown in the laptop panel and the graphics one in the external
monitor). So far so good.
Only one glitch (that's why I write here in case someone knows if it can
be solved):
- After the boot process finishes and, in my case, gdm starts, the
laptop panel shows a dirty image, exactly as it happens with the
miniDVI->VGA adapter. With this adapter I turned-off the laptop panel
backlight with fn-alt-f1 and I worked only with the output on the
external monitor, but...
- with the miniDVI-DVI adapter when I turn-off the backlight of the
laptop panel with fn-alt-f1, the image on the external monitor also
turns black :(
Is there a way to solve this issue?
Thanks
A. Corbi
