Now with control-center-2.22.1-2.fc9.i386 I see a "Detect Displays" button. When pressed, TV flashes and sometimes a second display is added to g-d-p central screen. However, only button that seems to have some effect is "Close". For example, setting lower resolution for laptop and pressing Apply, nothing happens. Also, when restarting g-d-p, old settings are lost. Cheers! control-center-2.22.1-4.fc9.i386 is better, I've even something from my TV! However, it works more or less without logic etc so I'll test a bit later next time. Thanks! Changing version to '9' as part of upcoming Fedora 9 GA. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping See also related bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=443906 Can you give more details on your video chipset, xorg driver and laptop model? My laptop is an Acer Aspire 1690 with ATI Mobility Radeon X700 using the ati driver. My television is using the PAL standard so using PAL is also a must for me. I'm using Fedora 9 now and the situation is as described above. With WinXP and from command line things work. Created attachment 319452 [details]
xrandr output from F10Beta on Acer Aspire 1690
Tested this with F10Beta. g-p-d looks nicer but now for some reason xrandr does not realize that tv-out is connected to my telly. Attaching xrandr output from F10Beta on Acer Aspire 1690. Actually the whole tv-out is missing with my ATI card, I opened Bug 465607 for that. This bug has been triaged This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 10 development cycle. Changing version to '10'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping > Actually the whole tv-out is missing with my ATI card, > I opened Bug 465607 for that. This is still the case, so obviously this bug is present, too. After Bug 465607 is resolved it makes sense to get back to this, not at all earlier.

After Bug 465607 > is resolved it makes sense to get back to this, not at all earlier. This problem also occurs with Intel graphics, so the last comment is not necessarily true. FWIW, I was able to test with VGA and in that g-d-p seems to be working almost perfectly: the additional display is there, it can be turned on and off. However, the GUI is a bit flaky but that is another matter. I guess the problem actually is that there's no support for TV-Out in gnome-display-properties at all (or in gnome-desktop for that matter). Unfortunately my old laptop only has VGA output, and the more recent one has an HDMI one, so I won't be the one fixing this. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 11 development cycle. Changing version to '11'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping The current situation with Fedora 12 Beta / Rawhide is that with my ATI card this seems to work. I wonder what happens with Intel card, see comment #12. This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora 12 development cycle. Changing version to '12'. More information and reason for this action is here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping This message is a reminder that Fedora 12 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 12. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '12'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 12's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 12 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 12 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2010-12-02. Fedora 12 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
