Hi there
I am running XBMC on Linux and want to hook it up to my CRT TV using the S-video out on my graphics card. With a bit of fiddling about in Xrandr I've managed to do this - it duplicates the VGA output onto S-video and everything is working fine.
As it's now set up how I want it, I'd like to disconnect my LCD monitor from the VGA port and just leave the S-video connected. However if the machine is booted with no monitor connected, no output appears on S-video at all. I rebooted 5 times and it did the same thing. But when I reconnect my monitor to the VGA port and reboot, S-video output appears again.
Does anyone know if there is a way using Xrandr of forcing output to be on S-video even when no VGA monitor is connected?
Any help much appreciated
Cheers.
