As it happens I noticed that my TV out also stopped working recently. |
| 42 |
However, I run ATI not nvidia. I blamed the latest xorg-server for it and |
| 43 |
left it at that. When I run xrandr, just like you, I only see the laptop's |
| 44 |
screen: |
| 45 |
========================================== |
| 46 |
$ xrandr |
| 47 |
Screen 0: minimum 320 x 175, current 1024 x 768, maximum 1024 x 768 |
| 48 |
default connected 1024x768+0+0 0mm x 0mm |
| 49 |
1024x768 60.0* |
| 50 |
320x175 60.0 |
| 51 |
320x200 60.0 |
| 52 |
360x200 60.0 |
| 53 |
320x240 60.0 |
| 54 |
400x300 60.0 |
| 55 |
512x384 60.0 |
| 56 |
832x624 60.0 |
| 57 |
========================================== |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
xrandr --output --auto doesn't change things and xrandr --output TV --on |
| 60 |
brings up the --help page. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Anyone else noticed this & found a fix? |
