Hello all,
It seems like every time I get a new laptop this ends up happening, and I
haven't found a workaround.
On my toshiba laptop, I can go to intel graphics controler and set the
monitor from notebook to monitor, and it sends all the info to the video
port.
Sadly, this doesn't seem to be the case with the new system.
I have dimmed the brightness, but my pupels don't contract, so the light
burns my eyes when I'm staring at it, and I'd love to just kill the monitor
for the sake of saving battery power anyway.
My idea was to write a dummy monitor device driver--is anyone good enough
with the DDK to pull this off?
I was tinkering with it, but I haven't gotten anywhere, besides lots of
errors... I'm thinking I can just reserve a bit of memory and let it write
to that memory and just let it keep writing there, and set the other
functions to just return whatever value they need to be.
Besides allowing me to set the monitor to that, it would also possibly speed
things up (I think). And it'd save my eyeballs, of course. :)
Thanks,
ty
