I installed Mandrake 7.0 on my notebook. This latop is 
equipped with a NeoMagic chipset. The chipset was correctly
recognized upon installation, but I changed the following
(origial) section in XF86Config

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "NeoMagic (laptop/notebook)"
    VendorName  "Unknown"
    BoardName   "Unknown"
#    VideoRam    1984
    # Clock lines
EndSection

With the above section the XFree server was only accessing
the LCD-panel and not the external monitor. So I changed the
above section into:  

Section "Device"
    Identifier  "NeoMagic (laptop/notebook)"
    VendorName  "Unknown"
    BoardName   "Unknown"
    Option "intern_disp"
    Option "extern_disp"
EndSection

Giving me exactly what I want.

Regards,

Bart
