[Live] HDMI monitor out on Netbook ION
#1
Hello

I have a HP Mini 311 ION LE and I am running the live version of xbmc. Everthing works fine on the netbook monitor but I am trying to tell xbmc how to activate the hdmi port, because right now it gets no signal. How can I get the hdmi monitor port to be the default? Or even if it can't be the default how do I switch to the hdmi from the netbook monitor? I am kindof new to the linux and live xbmc thing. I appreciate any help anyone can give me.

Thank you

I'm having exactly the same problem here with the same netbook. Can anybody tell how to solve this? I think editing the xorg.conf could do the magic, but I don't know what to change.

Add this line to the device section of your xorg.conf
Code:
Option    "UseDisplayDevice"    "DFP-1"

Then you can toggle hdmi on and off by running this short script:

Code:
#!/bin/bash
if [[ `grep DFP-0 /etc/X11/xorg.conf` ]]; then
sed -i s'/DFP-0/DFP-1/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
else
sed -i s'/DFP-1/DFP-0/' /etc/X11/xorg.conf
fi

You will have to log out for the setting to take effect though.
