Hi all,

I was able to watch a movie (:)) and then I was not (:(). I used the
script again:

####################################################################
#!/bin/bash
X -layout "TV layout" :1 -ac & sleep 2; DISPLAY=:1 mplayer -fs $1 &&
kill `ps aux | awk '/X\ -layout/ {print $2}' `

And this xorg.conf:

I started the script and the movie began playing on the TV screen. My
flat panel (TMDS) went blank. All good.
Then I quit mplayer. The flat panel went back on. All good, too.
Finally I called the script once more, but now both the TV and the flat
panel went black/blank. I guess in one out of 40 or so times calling the
script I get a picture on the TV, the other times it just goes black.

Any idea what could be causing the driver to do things right and the
other times not?
