    Hi all

    I'm trying to be able to toggle the video output of my laptop for
    presentations...

    I installed the fnfx package, and it works in general, but not for
    switching the video output on my system :-(

    # cat /proc/acpi/toshiba/video
    lcd_out: 1
    crt_out: 0
    tv_out: 0

    Even if I try to:

    # echo crt_out:1 > /proc/acpi/toshiba/video

    the file doesn't change:

    # cat /proc/acpi/toshiba/video
    lcd_out: 1
    crt_out: 0
    tv_out: 0

    Any suggestion?

    Debian testing, custom kernel 2.6.8, toshiba satellite 5200-801

    Please! I'm forced to boot in windows JUST for the presentations :-(

    Thanks,
    Alberto
