Hi!
I have a problem, and I expect that others have too...
I have a laptop, with a geforce4200go in it, and most of the time I am not connected to an external monitor, but once in a while I have my lcd-tv connected and therefore I have created a dual-head setup...It is working flawlessly...
but now for my problem, I only wanna use this WHEN, and only when, the external monitor is connected, as I have now, it is always configured to run, which starts up two instances of my vm and so on...(which is fine when using the other monitor)....
How can I do "a detection" that the screen isn't in use and in some way get the driver/xorg.conf file realize that I only have one screen actiive?
here is my xorg.conf (note: I will NOT use xinerama nor twinview)
if anyone has an idea, please share, I would prefer not using two xorg.conf's but if that is the only way, please explain where one might do a cat /some/file |grep "second monitor" and then do a bash-script which would choose to start either one of the xorg.conf -files
