Dear listmembers, if anyone of you is using a lenovo X60 laptop and would like to: - make FN-F7 switch video output (internal / external / both) - make FN-F2 lock the keyboard (X11 / kde) - use the fingerprint - reader for logging in - use the internal modem I can provide support. If I find the time I will post an article in the linux-laptop wiki.

maybe you can help me. This is my setup: I have the x60s, opensuse 10.1., fully updated. It is sitting in a docking station (ultrabay-something, I think, there is only one docking station for the x60s). I have two seats (chairs). One is directly in front of the notebook, using the notebook's keyboard and LCD-display, the other one is at some distance, with a seperate 21-inch-CRT, connected to the docking station through a loong VGA-extension cable and with seperate (usb)-keyboard/mouse. I gave up the idea of having a full multiseat-configuration with 2 users logged in at the same time and working on their own, independend desktops, after reading http://blog.chris.tylers.info/index.php?/archives/14-Multiseat-X-Under-X11R6... which basically says that this is not possible with one dual-head card, you would need 2 seperate (pci)-devices for that. A good compromise for me would be that I have the same picture on both monitors (including the login-screen), so I can choose on which seat I want to sit. I found some problems with that: - If I boot with the lid opened then: a) closing the lid switches the external CRT off, even with "ignore lid closing" enabled in yast->system->power management->acpi-setup b) the external CRT is running at 1024x768@60Hz, although I would like to have 1600x1200@100Hz - If I boot with the lid closed then: still only the modelines of the xorg.conf for the LCD are recognized, which somehow means that at least I can 85Hz refresh rate, but still nothing beyond 1024x768. I tried to change the BIOS-setting for "display" from "internal lcd" or "external vga" to "both", buth then I have no picture on the internal LCD at all (?!). So when I read that you made the Fn-F7-switch working I thought of: 2 seperate screens and monitors in the xorg.conf (as proposed at http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Intel_Graphics_Media_Accelerator_950 )* + switching between those screens with Fn-F7, maybe already at the login screen. Is this possible? * (I already had this configuration running but it did not work as "clone" but only as "xinerama" which gave me a second desktop on the CRT which is not what I wanted, I want my regular "first" desktop).

Kind regards, Franz.
Hi Franz, what I can provide is a src-rpm to make switching of the internal-external display work. But watchout: I personally did not test how to realize different resolutions on the internal / external display, so your mileage may vary. I suggest to do the following: build the binary to the src-rpm I provide with this mail: rpm -hiv i810switch-0.6.5-3.src.rpm cd /usr/src/packages/SPECS rpmbuild -ba ./i810switch.spec after building: cd ../RPM/i586 rpm -hiv i810switch-0.6.5-3.i586.rpm After that, you ought to be able to switch between internal and external display by simply calling /usr/sbin/i810rotate (call it three times to toggle all states). If that works, you might try to integrate this into your current environment, if you succeed in getting this to do what you want to achieve, I could help you with integrating in such a way that FN-F7 switches; however, you should try the things I mentioned above at first. Let me know about your progress, I love to help if I can. Take care Dieter Am Montag, 19. März 2007 11:52 schrieb Franz Petri:
