[SOLVED] How to use the HDMI output of my laptop (Openbox)

Hi everyone
I use ArchLinux along with Openbox, PcManFM, LXterminal (no desktop environment) on my Asus X52F (CPU/GPU = Intel core i3-350M).
I'd like to be able to use my HDMI output to watch movies on my TV.
When I used it with Ubuntu/Linux Mint, the HDMI output worked out of the box when I pressed Fn+F8 on my keyboard, but now it doesn't anymore.
I guess some packages or configuration are missing, because my others multimedia keys (Fn+Fx) to control the brightness of the screen, sound volume... are working, but since I didn't find anything on the wiki, I'm asking you.
Thank you ;]
EDIT: Arg, wrong section, sorry

What I did to solve it:
- Installed "lxrandr" from the official repo
- Configured Openbox to launch lxrandr when I pushed Fn+F8.
Now, If I want to watch something on my TV through HDMI:
1) Push Fn+F8
2) Tick the HDMI button under lxrandr, and click Apply
3] Enjoy :]

How to use the Hdmi output on 13" Retina Macbook as A/V out on FCP X?

Hello every one, I was just wondering if any body has been able to use the HDMI port built in to the 13" Retina as an A/V output for FCP X. So far, FCP doesn´t recognize it and I either have to mirror everything I´m doing(wich pretty much beats the point of having a second monitor), or I just get a gray texture on my second monitor(Black if I view my edit on full monitor).
I have to say, that was one of the reasons I didn´t buy a regular macbook pro.
If any body knows a solution or work around to this I´d be very thankful.

While technically this is not the same as a real broadcast monitor solution, you can use a monitor connected to your HDMI port very easily: Window->Show Viewers on Second Display.

How do I use HDMI output to my TV?

I have a new MacBook Pro. I have the HDMI connector to go to my tv. It just shows my background no icons nothing.....

If the TV is capable of 1920 x 1080 resolution, as most are nowadays, and your MBP's built-in screen is not, using display mirroring will unavoidably produce a blurry image on the TV. You won't want that. Unless you have a 17" MBP with a 1920 x 1080 built-in screen, don't use mirroring.

How to switch sqlplus language output e.g. french- english ?

When I enter a command in SQL@plus then result comments (e.g
PL/SQL procudre successfully finsihed
or
Transaction with COMMIT finished
are displayed. However on some installations they are
written in another language like french or german.
The "main" installation menues and labels (e.g. GUI in http//127.0.0.1) are in english.
I am talking only about the comments from SQL*Plus.
Is there a way to switch to english language comments ?

A540 How do I switch between HDMI and PC inputs?

When I have an HDMI source plugged into the A540, I haven't been able to figure out how to switch between HDMI and PC inputs. How is this accomplished?

You can browse the other store but unless you have a credit card and billing address in the other country you will not be able to purchase.
All prices are in the local currency of that country that you are browsing.

GE60 0ND-042US HDMI output

Hi everyone.
I just got the GE60 0ND-042US and I'm really liking it so far. I'm just now trying to figure out how to use the HDMI output. I searched the forums and couldn't find any specific answers to what I'm seeing.
After looking through the these forums, I understand that the HDMI port is only powered by the 660m and not the Intel card. My problem is, I can't seem to force the 660m to turn on outside of a game. Even with a game that uses the 660m running, I can't then try to switch to mirrored or extended mode and have the HDMI port show up in the Display Settings for screen resolution. The only port that shows up is the VGA port and any advaced options still go to the Intel graphics card, so that isn't what I need.
Does anyone know how to make this work? I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what else to try at this point. I even checked in the BIOS and I don't see any settings there to force it to use the nvidia card. It would be nice to be able to watch video on my HD TV. Thanks!

GE60 0ND-042US - Stock configuration from MSI

Thank you for your reply.
If the Intel card also controls the HDMI port, that could be a good thing as I primarily just want to use the HDMI port to show video on my TV, rather than play 3D games. The problem is I still can't get anything out of it.
Whenever I switch to mirrored or extended mode, the only port that is listed is the VGA port. I see no options to use the HDMI port at all. The cable is a good cable and works as I can pull it out of my computer and plug it back into the PS3 and everything is fine.
I was originally thinking that I had to force the nvidia card on in order to get HDMI out to work. But if that is not the case, that's good. I just need a way to turn the HDMI output on.
Please let me know. I'm sure it's something simple that I'm just not seeing, but it just doesn't seem to want to work for me.
Thank you for any help you have.

PAL NTSC Switching of Component Output

Hi,
I just purchased a ATV in the US an brought it back to Europe where I am hocking it up to an older TV using the component otput. The cabeling is correct and I am not using a composite entry nore cable.
The problem however is that the picture only apears in Black and White. I assume this is because the ATV is set to NTSC on its component output. Does anyone know how to switch the component output to PAL 50HZ ?
Regards

Your symptoms are consistent with plugging into an RGB connector (as you have pointed out).
I'm a little confused though as to exactly what you tried. What I meant when I said swap the cables over was to use (for example) the green cable in place of the blue, ie plug it into the blue connectors at both ends rather than just one.
On a component system the green is used for brightness (luma), the blue for the difference between luma and blue and red the difference between luma and red. On an RGB system the three connectors are used for each colour and the signal to each is a similar signal to the luma in component. This explains why an RGB system understands the signal over the green cable and not the others and results in a green picture.
If you plug the green cable into the red connector on an RGB system (keeping it plugged into the green at the other end) what you might get is a red picture, but this isn't certain since on a 3 connection RGB system (there are 4 and 5 connection systems) the green cable also carries the sync signal and you might get a rolling red picture or no picture at all.
With this in mind you should be able to detrmine if you have A) RGB connectors on your TV or B) damaged red and blue cables or C) a defective tv.

How to give delay in switch on digital output lines

Hello All,
I am working on PCI-6514 Digital IO card, I am writing a sequence to my application using DAQmax for Digital input and output lines
I want to switch on one output line0 and after a delay 5sec switch on line1 output and after a delay of 3sec switch on line2 output and sense input line 0 and line 1 .
How can we know the status of output ie output is on or off.
Since i am using the IO card for first time suggest me in this.

Hi
I am going to assume that you are using LabVIEW 7.1 for this application. If you are trying to acquire data from an external device after outputting data to that device, the DAQmx tristate property node will give you this functionality.
You will then need a DAQmx write.vi to output your digital data followed by a DAQmx channel property node. Select Digital Output>>Tristate on the property node and wire a true constant into it. After the property node, you can use a DAQmx read.vi to read the data coming into the digital lines. By using the tristate property node, you can avoid stopping the digital output task and starting an entirely new task. I am attaching an example program that will demonstrate this.
Regards,
Hal L.

X121e HDMI output - how to enable?

Hi, I can't work out how to enable HDMI output from this laptop to my TV. On other laptops I've tried with the TV they respond to me plugging in the HDMI cable. On this one nothing happens. Also I can't see any obvious options to select HDMI output. The manual says press Fn F7 but when I select the external options there is no second monitor detected and again I can't see any options to select it. Any suggestions what to look at? Thanks, Pete.

I've tried another monitor and still no luck. Either there is some setting I'm missing for the Intel HD output, or I wonder if my HDMI output is faulty. Any ideas what to look for in the device manager or troubleshooting steps I can do? Thanks, Pete.

How can I connect my 24" cinema display to a mac book pro retina HDMI output?

Hi folks,
I would like to have a macbook pro retina running three external displays (this is technically feasable):
2 times a 27" Cinema displays through thunderbold ones (connecting them to the Thunderbold output, daysy chaining them)
1 time a 24" Cinema display through mini display port (connecting it to the HDMI output as the resolution matches on both ends 1920 x 1200)
Any idea which adaptor I would need as most of them are only working one way (the wrong way!..)?
Thanks for you numerous inputs ;-)

How to switch USB-6008 between digital input and output modes

Hi I have been following the examples of setting a specific port to either inout or output using the DAQmxCreateDIChan() or DAQmxCreateDOChan() calls. What I now want to do, is switch betwen inout to output mode and back again.
DAQmxCreateDOChan()
DAQmxWriteDigitalLines()
// do something
//switch to input
DAQmxReadDigitalU32()
// switch back to output
I can't seem to find any calls or discussions on this.
rjmiller

Hi RJM,
If you want to be able to switch your digital line between input and output, then you will need to use the Tristate Property. There is another discussion forum with more detailed information about using this property and I believe that you have already seen it. I am going to post the link in case anyone else wants to see the other forum as well: Tristate Property Discussion Forum. Reddog's post is very informative.

Can't get audio HDMI output to work on ViewSonic VX2453 monitor

I have a 13" mid 2011 MacBook Air and a new ViewSonic VX2453 monitor. I used the Monoprice mini display port to HDMI converter with audio and connected the monitor to my computer's thunderbolt port. The video works perfectly, but the sound isn't working at all. I set my computer's sound output in settings to VX2453 series (type: HDMI), and I set my monitor's audio input to HDMI. Nothing. I also tried changing the frequency in Audio MIDI Setup, which someone recommended on amazon for the monoprice adapter, but that didn't work either.
I tested the monitor's sound by switching audio input instead to "audio in" and connected to my headphone jack, and that worked so the monitor's sound is fine.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

Hi - I'm just setting up my VX2453, as well. I got sound to come out of it via the same HDMI output setting on the Mac as you describe, so I think you're doing the right thing.
Be sure you've selected the correct HDMI input (?).
Related, on my monitor, the audio can't be adjusted anywhere other than through the cumbersome volume control on the monitor. That is, when playing over the HDMI on the monitor's speakers, the volume controls on the MacBook Pro no longer respond (grayed out).
Anyone know how to make the volume controls on the MBPro respond under that setup?
Thanks.

"AMD HDMI Output -AMD High Definition Audio Device not plugged in

i have an HP Pavilion dv6-6110us laptop. i have had this laptop for less than 1 month and the sound is not working at all. I checked to make sure nothing was muted, i uninstalled the soundcard and reinstalled it on Device Manager, and still, I cannot manage to get the sound back on. the audio settings says "AMD HDMI Output -AMD High Definition Audio Device not plugged in) ..but i have no clue how to "plug it in". Help!!!?

Hey! You essentially have two sound cards, including the HDMI. First, make sure you're using the ATI graphics card, and not the Intel, when you want to use the HDMI.
Next, go to Windows Control Panel\Sound
On the playback tab (which shows by default), WHEN YOUR HDMI IS PLUGGED IN AND WORKING, you should see two playback devices: Your internal sound card/speakers, and the AMD HDMI. All you need to do is switch between the playback device you want the sound to be channelled to. You can switch this at any time. I do this when watching in the other room via my projector, or in my comp. room. Just select the HDMI sound device and choose the button on bottom-middle "Set Default". This will change the "default device" tag to below the HDMI playback device. To reset, either unplug the HDMI, or switch it here. This is always the first place you should look when you have sound issues.
Because I switch quite often, I have a shortcut link on my desktop to this sound menu, for quick switching.
If this doesn't work, make sure you have drivers for your ATI video card installed. Check you exact model and make sure your bios is up to date. They have made for switchable graphics now, which is much preferable to the previous auto-detect switch. The drivers are updated, as well. The latest HP drivers for the ATI were released in November. You can install these, then install the latest AMD/ATI Mobility Video Driver package over the top to make sure you have the latest video drivers. Either of these packages includes the HDMI audio driver, which you may not have installed.
