Hi, I was just wondering about the best way to clone the LCD display of my laptop onto an external CRT. I have an i855GM graphic chipset and I use the i810 driver.
I had it worked using i855crt[1] but overlay does not work. The documentation of i855crt contains a patch against XFree86 source code to have overlay work. There is also a bug[2] on the xserver-xfree86 package about this. Looking at the xorg svn web interface, it appears some parts of the patch have been included. Following this, I have several questions : Is i855crt deprecated since the inclusion of X.org in Debian? Is there an X way to have the external CRT clone the LCD display? Should bug #285818 be closed? Thanks in advance for any clue! [1] http://i855crt.sourceforge.net [2] http://bugs.debian.org/285818
