Hello,

I wish to ask if D-SUB output in my graphic card is supposed to work?
There is lspci:

01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon
Mobility X700 (PCIE) (prog-if 00 [VGA])
        Subsystem: Acer Incorporated [ALI] Aspire 5024WLMi
        Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 18
        Memory at c8000000 (32-bit, prefetchable) [size=128M]
        I/O ports at 9000 [size=256]
        Memory at c0100000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=64K]
        Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2
        Capabilities: [58] Express Endpoint IRQ 0
        Capabilities: [80] Message Signalled Interrupts: Mask- 64bit+
Queue=0/0 Enable-

I'm confused because I tried to connect my notebook (Acer 5024) to 3
different LCDs (one of theses was TV) but without result. When I
connect my card to LCD "No signal" info (on LCD) disappears but screen
is still black. Then I try "xrandr" but it doesn't show anything more
except my notebook's panel.
