Also, FWIW, if you have a mac DESKTOP with a radeon card that needs special quirks let me know. Tell me what model it is, which radeon chip it has (pci ids) and what connectors it has. Alex On 8/29/07, Alex Deucher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Those of you with radeon based mac lapto

Re: 20 EUR reward (PayPal) to the person who can get my external VGA to work properly

2007-06-05 Thread Alex Deucher
rhaps a dumb question but... I don't need the external vga ouput all the time. In fact I only need it when I make presentations with a beamer, that is once every three months. Should I keep using the xorg.conf with the external VGA output defined even if I don't need it ? Will it "suck" more energy from the battery if I leave the VGA ouput enabled in xorg.conf ? Leaving the DAC enabled will draw more power. If you want to try the randr-1.2 branch of the radeon driver, it allows you to turn outputs on and off on the fly and even switch between dualhead and single head on the fly. It requires a newer X server and xrandr however. Alex -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
