First of all, this is not confurable after Xorg has started, AFAIK. Secondly, when Xorg does autodetect the S-Video connection, it loads the screen on both the LCD and S-Video interface which my video card does not like very well. Linux has the exact same issue, the only solution was to make sure the s-video connection was unplugged during Xorg startup and plug it in afterwards. Then use atitvout to switch over to the s-video and shut the lcd signal off. If Xorg can do this after it's started then I might try that. >=20 > --=20 > Anish Mistry --=20 Loren M.
