I get the same result (i.e. no picture on the DVI) except that my picture quality deteriorates even more on the VGA with 59.9 (for some reason, changing the mode of the DVI-0 changes the mode of the VGA-0 accordingly...?) > from the hardware's perspective they do the same thing: turn off the > output and disable the crtc driving it. Does xorg/driver rearrange the video memory layout when xrandr disables a display with the --off switch, even though the monitor is still connected? I'm close to moron when it comes to video controllers and being purely speculative, but I suspect that --off only shuts down the signal/CRTC but retains and updates the video RAM allocated to the LVDS, thus not helping to eliminate the problem (be it memory overflow, bandwidth limitation, etc). > I'll take a look and let you know. Million thanks. This has been very frustrating, and your help is very appreciated.
