The DVI connector is available only through a docking station or port replicator. Works fine with the RandR 1.2 radeon driver. Use xorg opensource R300 driver version 6.7 and later in order to enable S-Video. It also might work with opensource R300 and the following patch To the Device section in your /etc/X11/nf and restart X. Works with the proprietary fglrx driver (as of version 8.19.10). Powering the CRT port consumes 400-500mW, regardless of whether a CRT is attached. To the Device section in your /etc/X11/nf.
Additionally, to use both ports there is the possibility to either have the monitor connected during X startup, or force activation of both ports by adding On-the-fly works with aticonfig in the newest Drivers, see Display Switching. See also the related discussion about Additional options for the radeon driver. (Tested wth Fedora Core 4 on ThinkPad T43). Note that without the MonitorLayout option, if the external monitor is connected when X starts then the LCD will be deactivated and you will need to restart X. To activate both ports in clone mode with a reasonable CRT refresh rate, use the following in /etc/X11/nf: However, this loses acceleration and some capabilities.
Using the vesa driver built into X.org, mode switching modes. Both the radeon and fglrx drivers turn off the switching between internal and external port. ATI provides fglrx, a closed-source Linux-only alternative which adds some functionality such as TV output and advanced power amangement (but has its own stability issues).ĭisplay on the internal LCD works as long as you set the monitor settings correct. In conjunction with the r300 DRI driver, radeon also provides 3D acceleration (the latter is not yet stable). The X.org radeon driver works well and support 2D acceleration and some other functionality such as basic power amangement.
