</div><br>Yes, it worked !<br>You have just earned 20 EUR :)<br><br>Now my external VGA display finally works properly in both Mac OS X and Debian GNU/Linux 4.0<br>Here's the detailed information: <br><a href="http://pierre.baudu.in/ibook/#external_vga_output" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
http://pierre.baudu.in/ibook/#external_vga_output</a><br><br>Perhaps a dumb question but... <br>I don't need the external vga ouput all the time. In fact I only need it when I make presentations with a beamer, that is once every three months.
<br>Should I keep using the xorg.conf with the external VGA output defined even if I don't need it ?<br>Will it "suck" more energy from the battery if I leave the VGA ouput enabled in xorg.conf ?<br><br>
To Zhengpeng Hou: Can I send you the 20 EUR to your address: <a href="mailto:zhengpeng-hou@ubuntu.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">zhengpeng-hou@ubuntu.com</a> ?<br>Or do you prefer if I send it to another address ?
<br><br>Other folks: Thanks a lot :)
<br>It's a pleasure when you can get things to work :)<br><br>Cheers,<br>-- <br>Pierre Bauduin<br>Linux enthusiast since 1996<br>Linux registered user #64711<br>Debian GNU/Linux user<br>website: <a href="http://pierre.baudu.in/" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">
