[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.

  • Is it possible to use the HDMI output at the same time as the usb camera adaptor on an iPhone 4s

    I want to use the
    Apple Digital AV Adapter and
    Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit
    with my iphone 4s.
    I want to have the screen output to a larger screen (HDMI tv) and use a keyboard and mouse (usb) with the iphone apps.
    Anyone tried this or know if it will work?

    I have a raspberry pi and have bought the Atrix lapdock to use with it. I'm also hoping to use the lapdock with my iPhone 4s through the digital AV plug (HDMI and 30-pin) and the usb connector from the camera kit (into the 30-pin connector on the digital AV plug). I am making the assumption that they will work together, is that true? Anybody have both connectors?

  • What will make the picture from FCP studdering from the HDMI output, but not from the firewire output ?

    I have a Mac Mini 2010, 8G ram,running on Snow Leopard. I'm playing some video clips from FinalCut Pro 7.0.3. When I'm using the HDMI output,the picture will be studdering on a horizontal panning picture. This problem does not happen when I'm using the firewirw output, which I can't use anymore with my new playback system..
    Is there any setup I can use to fix this studdering?

    Sorry about that, have had no need for pasting output so far as I was using Ubuntu/Mint/Sabayon so could work most things out myself.  Thanks for letting me know   Also, please mark this post SOLVED as well as STUPID lol.  I removed Pulseaudio and went over my Alsamixer settings with a LOT more careful attention, discovered that something vital was not unmuted. Doh!!  Have to say, Arch is the best learning experience ever, though

  • Hi there, can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac Mini? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? Thanks in advance, Grtz T.

    Hi there,
    Can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac mini i7 using an Apogee jam as an input for bass and a Behringer USB DAC with RCA audio output? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? I'm also suffering massive audio lag issues with the Apogee jam after waking the mini from sleepmode, wich pretty much renders it useless.
    Thanks in advance,
    Grtz T.

    I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
    With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
    The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
    You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
    The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

  • Can I convert the optical output to analog for a zone 2 audio? I would continue using the HDMI for the main zone. Can I use both of these simultaneously? Zone 2 only supports analog on this receiver.

    Can I convert the optical output to analog via a converter for  zone 2 audio? I would continue using the HDMI for the main zone. Can I use both of these simultaneously? Zone 2 only supports analog on this receiver.

    These will probably help.

  • How do i connect my mac mini to a kvm switch using the hdmi to dvi adapter?

    I want to connect my Mac Mini using the HDMI to DVI adapter to a KVM switch cable. I have an Iogear KVM switch. The cable from the KVM switch has a male VGA end connection. I have been trying to determine the right adapter to connect the female DVI connection to the male VGA connector. I will be using the Mac mini and a PC running through the KVM switch. This is doable as the iogear switch is compatible with both a PC and a Mac. Any ideas out there? Thank you.

    You would need to get  HDMI or DVI to VGA CONVERTER, not a simple adopter. The converter requires USP connection for power. HDMI is only digital while VGA is analogue.

  • Hello, I'm using a Macbook Pro Retina 13 inch Late 2013. Is the HDMI output revision 2.0 or 1.4a? Thank you all!

    Just as the header states, Is the HDMI output on my macbook pro retina 13 inch the 2.0 version or the 1.4a version? Thank you!

    I'm asking this because, hdmi 2.0 allows 4K output at 60hz (right?) versus 30hz for HDMI 1.4a. I might connect another 4K display to my mac in the forseable future.

  • Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI

    Can I use the HDMI out on a HP ALL IN ONE TOUCHSCREEN Desktop to connect a second monitor with HDMI  in without any additional  software or graphics adaptor.  I have a 520-1070
    HP - 23" Touch-Screen TouchSmart All-In-One Computer - 8GB Memory - 2TB Hard Drive ? I used a HDMI to HDMI cable and the monitor was not  recognized.

    Here are the specs for your HP TouchSmart 520-1070 Desktop Computer. As previously stated your computer Doesn't have a HDMI output, instead it has a HDMI input. This is designed to let you connect a game console, a DVD/Bluray player, etc. to use as a monitor.
    If you wish to conect a second monitor to your computer, you will need to use a USB-to-video adapter such as the EVGA UV Plus+ UV39 or EVGA UV Plus+ UV19. Using an adapter like these with the touch feature of your computer may cause issues with pointer control and you may need to disable the touch feature to use "extended desktop".

  • Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files but still have them on the TC for future reference..

    Okay so I set up my Time Capsule already and is now backing up 2 of my iMacs. Works great. What I want to know is how to use the TC to directly store files? I want to do this to delete some files on iMac 20inch but still have them on the TC for future reference..eg some movies on iTunes. I want to directly save them on the drive so I can delete them from iTunes and gain some storage. (Ps on iMac 20 inch (it's almost full - 320 GB) when I enter time machine, a tab comes up on finder which reads "Time Machine backups" it's able to be ejected like a disc or a connected device. On the iMac 20 inch, I dragged some files onto there as if using it like a hard drive. Is this the correct method? Then I went to my 27inch iMac and saw the "Time Machine Backups" hoping to see the files I dragged from the 20inch iMac. But the files were not there except a folder that said "Backups.backupdb". Can someone help me?

    It's not a good idea to use a network disk for both Time Machine backups and other things.  By design Time Machine will eventually consume all the space on its output disk, which will then cause problem for your other files.  I'd store those other files on an external disk connected to the Time Capsule.  The problem with that is that Time Machine will only back up files that are local to your Mac.  That means that you'll only have one copy of the files on or attached to your Time Capsule.
    By the way, you've been misled by poor field labeling on this forum into typing a large part of your message into the field intended for the subject.  In the future just type a short summary of your post into that field and type the whole message into the field below that.

  • JNI - How to use the error reporting mechanism?

    I've developed a C++ DLL which is loaded from a commercial Win32 application (not written by me) as a plug-in for external calculations. On its initialization the C++ DLL launches the Java VM via the JNI invocation interface. When the DLL functions are called by the application, they forward the calls to Java objects inside the Java VM, again via JNI invocation interface.
    This works well, but I have encountered a weird error.
    From Java I open a JFrame containing a JTextArea as small console for debug output messages. If I turn output to this debug console off (my printToConsole routine checks whether a boolean flag is set), the string concatenation operator may lead to a crash of the Java VM.
    For example, if in one of the Java functions called from the
    DLL via JNI invocation interface the following is the first statement,
    it leads to a crash of the Java VM and the application that loaded the C++ proxy DLL.
    String test=""+Math.random(); // String test not used later
    Interestingly, if I comment this statement out, the Java code works fine WITHOUT any crash. I've already thought about potential races and synchronization issues in my code, but I don't see where this is the case. And the string concatenation error fails as well, if I insert sleep() statements in front of it and at other places in the code. However, if I turn on log messages printed to my JFrame debug console (containing a JTextArea), the String concatenation works without problems.
    So maybe the JNI interface has a bug and affects the Java VM; I don't see where my JNI code is wrong.
    One problem is that I do not get any stdout output, as the C++ proxy DLL is loaded by the Windows application, even if I start the Windows application from the DOS command line (under Windows).
    Does anyone know how to use the error reporting mechanism?
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/guide/vm/error-handling.html
    Is it possible that the JVM, when it crashes, writes debug information about the crash into a file instead of stdout/stderr?
    My C++ proxy DLL was compiled in debug mode, but the commercial application (which loaded the DLL) is very likely not.
    I do not know hot to find the reason why the String concatenation fails inside the Java function called from the C++ DLL via JNI.

    Yes, I've initially thought about errors in the C++ code too. But the C++ code is actually very simple and short. It doesn't allocate anything on the C++ side. It allocates a couple of ByteBuffers inside the Java VM however via JNI invocation interface calls of env->NewDirectByteBuffer(). The native memory regions accessed via the ByteBuffers are allocated not by my own C++ code, but by the program that calls my DLL (the program is Metastock).
    The interesting thing is that everything works fine if output to my debug console is enabled, which means that in the Java print routine getConsoleLoggingState() returns true and text is appended to the jTextArea.
    static synchronized void print(String str)
    { MetaStockMonitor mMon=getInstance();
    if ( mMon.getFileLoggingState() && mMon.logFileWriter!=null) {
    mMon.logFileWriter.print(str);
    mMon.logFileWriter.flush();
    if ( mMon.getConsoleLoggingState() ) {
    mMon.jTextArea1.append(str);
    Only if output to the JTextArea is turned off (ie. getConsoleLoggingState()==false), the crash happens when the FIRST statement in the Java routine called via JNI invocation interface is a (useless) String concatenation operation, as described above.
    String test=""+Math.random(); // String test not used later
    Moreover, the crash happens BEFORE the allocated ByteBuffer objects are accessed in the Java code. But again, if console output is turned on, it works stable. If console output is turned off, it works when the (useless) String concatenation operation is removed in the Java routine called from C++.
    I've already thought about potential races (regarding multiple threads), but this can be ruled out in my case. It almost appears as if the JVM can have problems when called by the invocation interface (I tested it with Java 1.4.2 b28).
    All the calls between C++ and Java go ALWAYS in the direction from C++ code to Java. Unfortunately, there is no special JRE version with extensive logging capabilities to facilitate debugging. And the problem is not easily reproducible either.

  • How to use the table maintenance events for validating the input entries..?

    Hi,
    I have created a Z table with 6 fields in which all are KEY fields. All are of CHAR type. I have created the Table Maintenance Generator for the same. While maintaining the entries in the table, even though I maintain a blank entry for a field it is saving the entry. But, I don't want that way. All the fields are mandatory in my table. One should enter all the fields. Otherwise it should not allow to save the entry. So, I think it can be done using the Table Maintenance Events. can someone tell me how to use the Table Maintenance Events. and which event to use for my reuqirement and what is the logic to be written.
    Or Is there any other way to solve my problem.
    Please share your inputs. Thanks in advance.
    Best regards,
    paddu.

    In the table maintenance generator, Environment --> Modifications --> Events then a screen will be appear here,we need to create the Events.In the EVENTS screen, press new Entries, there give 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database) and give a name(This will become a PERFORM), then click the Editor pushbutton, this will be there at the right side of the entry, then a popup will be appear, you can create an include program, there inside of the include program write ur code.
    Here is documentation for Event 01(Before Saving the Data in the Database )
    Event 01: Before Saving the Data in the Database
    Use
    This event occurs before new, changed or deleted entries are written to the database. Other activities can be performed, for example:
    hidden entry processing
    fill hidden fields
    flag data to be written to hidden tables after the database change.
    To have the changes saved by the central maintenance dialog routines, SY-SUBRC must be set to 0 at the end of the routine.
    Realization
    This event has no standard routine. The following global data is available for the realization of the user routine:
    internal table TOTAL
    field symbols
    field symbols <ACTION> and <ACTION_TEXT>
    <STATUS>-UPD_FLAG
    If internal table data are to be changed before saving, t he changes should be made in both the internal table TOTAL and in the internal table EXTRACT.
    FORM abc.
    DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX. "Index to note the lines found
    LOOP AT TOTAL.
    IF <ACTION> = desired constant.
    READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
    IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
    F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
    ELSE.
    CLEAR F_INDX.
    ENDIF.
    (make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
    MODIFY TOTAL.
    CHECK F_INDX GT 0.
    EXTRACT = TOTAL.
    MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDX.
    ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
    SY-SUBRC = 0.
    ENDFORM.
    Regards,
    Joy.
