Auto press keys before opening gameex

[LB11]

Well, basically I put gameex on a older laptop with an old ATI rage pro. The drivers in those days were subpar, and it has no support to load a monitor profile on boot.

I want the TV to be the main output because thats where the videos would play and also on the secondary monitor, the screen is all flashing and looks crappy in the gameex menu.

Everytime I boot the computer it detects that the TV is plugged in and the LCD screen is plugged in and sets the LCD as the main screen.

Is there some way I can have the computer automatically press ctrl+Atl+t before loading gameex to auto switch to TV as the main profile?

Id created an autohot key script that sends these keys.. Then put the script in the launch on startup dont wait.. Under tweaks and performance

I have no idea how to make that script. I downloaded the program and looked at the help file, It says you can send keypresses to an open program. But That wont work since I think its the ATI drivers that run as a service that have to see those presses. Am I wrong?

Well you can press Ctrl+alt+T at any time right?

I will lookint making it but I cannot test it because I dont have that functionality on my laptop..

Give me a couple hours

Hey thanks! Ill try it out!

I now have a harder question for you. Is it possible to have windows run this everytime it comes out of hibernate? Probably not, but it cant hurt to ask!

Not that im aware of.

Sorry.

You can run it in startup and shutdown.. You can make it a service or a script but not out of hibernation or standby or screensaver

If you are using the power button to hibernate, as opposed to idle timer / screensaver, you could try my method.

I have and AutoIT loop that checks 2 conditions:

1) If c:\sleepy.txt exists, delete the file and send some keystrokes... (this would run in wakeup from hibernate)

2) If a key is pressed (can be set to anything), create the file c:\sleepy.txt and enter hibernation.

This would work in your situation I would think.
