Hi everyone
I use ArchLinux along with Openbox, PcManFM, LXterminal (no desktop environment) on my Asus X52F (CPU/GPU = Intel core i3-350M).
I'd like to be able to use my HDMI output to watch movies on my TV.
When I used it with Ubuntu/Linux Mint, the HDMI output worked out of the box when I pressed Fn+F8 on my keyboard, but now it doesn't anymore.
I guess some packages or configuration are missing, because my others multimedia keys (Fn+Fx) to control the brightness of the screen, sound volume... are working, but since I didn't find anything on the wiki, I'm asking you.
Thank you ;]
EDIT: Arg, wrong section, sorry

What I did to solve it:
- Installed "lxrandr" from the official repo
- Configured Openbox to launch lxrandr when I pushed Fn+F8.
Now, If I want to watch something on my TV through HDMI:
1) Push Fn+F8
2) Tick the HDMI button under lxrandr, and click Apply
3] Enjoy :]

Thanks. I've got the same setup as you on a Lenovo x120e and this worked perfectly.
