ok, as a followup to my previous post, i slapped f9 on my inspiron, then VLC and associated RPMs, popped in a DVD, it plays nicely on the laptop. then, connected an external (samsung WUXGA) flat-panel monitor via DVI, and the entire laptop display is reflected nicely on the monitor *except* for the actual DVD image in the VLC window -- that just shows up as blank, either in regular or fullscreen mode (in fullscreen mode, the entire external display is blank, even while the movie is playing on the laptop). i'm no expert at video so, somehow, the DVD image is not being passed out on DVI, while everything else is. thoughts? is there a VLC setting to tweak this? this is a dell inspiron 9200 so it's a fairly old system -- at least a couple years. but until now, running external displays off that DVI port has worked just fine. so why is the DVD video content being treated this way? rday -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
