After successfully installing xbmcbuntu 13.0-gotham on my HTPC, I've tried to change resolution in the XBMCbuntu session.
Unfortunately, due to my misuse, I managed to disable my monitor resulting i no signal to my projector. The only access I have is the tty (ctrl+alt+F#)
How can I revert my situation? An help will be much appreciated

If I understand correctly....try:

CTRL-ALT-F7

That will bring you the desktop view back, iirc

[adreask]

no, there is no signal at all.

I checked xrandr in a console and it said "Can't open display"

[teeedubb]

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr

[adreask]

Here is the result of the command

What should I do now?

[DaVu]

Hard to read...

do a

Code:

sudo apt-get install pastebinit

then do again:

Code:

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr | pastebinit

and provide the link you will get

Btw....you can do this with any command, you will get outputs from...

Code:

anycommand | pastebinit

will push the output of the command to a pastebinsite so others can take a look

Anyone? pls?

This is part of what I use to enable my second monitor

xrandr --output DVI-I-2 --auto --mode 1680x1050 --primary --panning 1680x1050+0+0

configure the command with the output of your xrandr


But I wonder what you have done to mess up your screen so that it remains disabled after a reboot?

Fn+ whatever key turns your monitor on.

@teeedubb

After my command it replies: "Can't open display"

Unfortunately I cannot reproduce what I have done exactly, but my aim was to change the resolution of my main and only video output (VGA -> EPSON EMP-TW700)
I logged in to the xbmcbuntu session and tried to change the resolution. There was a warning message that by doing that my monitor would have been disabled (which of course I ignored) and here I am...

@black_eagle
No results with that, I have a custom build htpc with a logitech keyboard so I don't know the combination.

Thank you all for your time, trying to help me. I really appreciate it!

[black_eagle]

xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768

(I think !!)

[adreask]

Code:

Can't open display

[black_eagle]

DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output VGA1 --mode 1024x768

And if not, then I'm out.

[adreask]

The result of this command is:

warning: output vga1 not found: ignoring
