help with OMAP3EVM to connect external LCD display via DVI



hi guys,

I do not know how to plug an external monitor to my OMAP 3 EVM board in DVI.

So guys, it should be something really intuitive to most of you and if you know something to my questions listed below, i will thank you a lot :

1. Is there a way to check with linux commands whether the screen is connected?

2. Are there messages displayed, when some screen is plugged into DVI port ?

3. Do I need to change some settings in the kernel and compile to extend/add/allow support of external displays?

4. Is there a demo application somewhere in the support package/ internet repository, that is showing how to use an external dIsplay via DVI, managing the frame buffer of the external device and etc? (something like showing picture or color box is more than okay)

 

 My system is

Mistral OMAP 3 EVM

revision D,

R18 is 10 kohms

kernels:

2.26.22 or

 2.26.29-r3
