[ltp] Re: Fglrx 8.28.8 promises Fn-F7 toggling. Anyone got it working?

[Alfredo Matos]

When BigDesktop is enabled, X and gnome/gdm always think that there are
two screen.

What i've been trying to do since yesterday night was to detect screen
presence on X startup, and the set xrandr accordingly. That is, if only
one display (lvds) then set 1400x1050 (my native resolution), instead of
the 2800x1050 that it starts up with. But i haven't managed to do this,
since the Xsession scrips don't mind my xrandr (i think it's too soon to
run xrandr, not sure).

Also, another question: is there a way to autodetect the second monitor
? As in resolution, hsync, vrefresh values ? I can live with a sort of
options menu like the one presented on thinkwiki, but i rather have
autodetection :)

regards,

Alfredo Matos
