Hello, 

yesterday I upgraded my system 
into 'lenny'. 

Now I've got a problem to get 
an external monitor working. 

Earlier with 'etch I had no problems. 
It worked just by plugging it in. 

I used a few hours reading other people's 
posts about this problems and tried 
tinkering this and that, but no solution. 

My laptop is HP nx9500 and the 
external monitor is a normal 'Compaq', 
which worked ok. earlier with 'etch'. 

Now the external monitor stops 
when gdm starts. 

Does anybody have a clue what to do. 

1) 
Is there such a tool for reconfiguring 
'xserver-xorg' so that I could use just one 
tool to get it working? 

I triedĀ  "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" 
a few times, but that is only reconfiguring 
the keyboard and keymaps and stops there. 

2) 
If I'll do it by hand, 

what should I write 
onto 'xorg.conf' to get the external
monitorĀ  working with the same 
rates as the internal display (, which 
was the earlier case)? 

Need I do something else
for some other files? 

3) 
I tried a few times to do something 
with/for 'xrandr', but it was 
of no help. 

with best, 

- hv
