[mythtv-users] Mythbuntu, Intel graphics and losing monitor when off

[Marc Rawji]

Happy you got a working xorg.conf...

regarding the EDID information, I followed the steps here:
http://kodi.wiki/view/Creating_and_using_edid.bin_via_xorg.conf

It lets me turn the computer on, even if the TV/Receivers are off, and
still have a running frontend when I switch to the right input.

Good luck!
Marc
