Hi
that was all very very helpful, i didn't know about xrandr and i think
its the way t go for this and works very nicely. the blog post and
directions there was especially helpful - thanks.
i have added this to my video action script as follows: (it can no doubt
be improved but works fine) i needed the display in there because when
running it from Fn-F7 it complains that it can't open one.
#!/bin/sh
DISPLAY=:0.0
STATUS_FILE=/usr/local/thinkpad/video_status
STATUS=0
if [ -f ${STATUS_FILE} ]; then
STATUS=`cat ${STATUS_FILE}`
fi
if [ "${STATUS}" == "0" ]; then
xrandr -d ${DISPLAY} --auto
STATUS=1
else
xrandr -d ${DISPLAY} --output VGA --off
STATUS=0
fi
echo ${STATUS} > ${STATUS_FILE}
thanks again.
