xrandr s-video load_detection

[otkaz]

Is there any way to set xrandr --output s-video --set load_detection 1 by default? Every time i reboot it turns it off...
also does anyone know if it possible to create an acpi event for when the s-video cable is connected?

The simplest way would be to put the call in your login script (~/.bash_profile). I do that sort of thing all the time to do stuff like remote mounts of samba or nfs shares to my local file system, etc.

thanks for the reply
main reason I was asking was I wrote a script to change xrandr settings on s-video. the first part of the script tuned on load detection which worked fine, but if I was already outputting to s-video and ran the script that line would give me an error. I added xrandr --auto before the load detection line and it fixed it. here is the script in case anyone is interested it requires xvattr to switch video overlay to s-video.

#!/bin/sh

xrandr --auto
xrandr --output S-video --set load_detection 1

svideo=`xrandr | grep S-video | awk '{print $2}'`

if [ "$svideo" = "connected" ]
then
xrandr --output S-video --mode 800x600
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 800x600
xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 1
else
xrandr --output S-video --off
xrandr --output LVDS --mode 1024x768
xvattr -a XV_CRTC -v 0
