Hi folks,
I want to get Xinemera working with Xmonad. I don't use a xorg.conf, but HAL. When I start the laptop with an external VGA, the external monitor gets all the attention and the laptop screen stays *dark*.
I hope to do it with xrandr, as I don't use a xorg.conf.
Here is my output:
~ $ xrandr
xrandr: Output LVDS is not disconnected but has no modes
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 200, current 1280 x 1024, maximum 1280 x 1280
VGA1 connected 1280x1024+0+0 376mm x 301mm
1280x1024 60.0*+ 75.0 60.0*
1152x864 75.0
1024x768 75.0 60.0
800x600 75.0 60.3
640x480 75.0 59.9
720x400 70.1
DVI1 disconnected
LVDS connected
~ $ xrandr --output VGA1 --left-of LVDS
xrandr: Output LVDS is not disconnected but has no modes
~ $
What kind of modes would I need to add? I went through the man page of xrandr, but that all doesn't really say me anything. Why is xrandr not adding modes for the LVDS automatically when a external video is connected?
Thanks very much!
Cheers,
Thomas
