"Plug in the adapter cable on boot (or when resuming from disk), no
need
to have the screen connected yet. Later after you attached the external
display use:
Option "CrtcNumber" "0"
Option "FlatPanel" "0"
in your X configs device section. Works fine on NV17 and NV32 with
X.org
6.8.0 but should also work with recent XFree86. You then have the
console's on the pbooks LCD and X on the external screen. Not perfect,
but...
These options got my external display working. The laptop LCD is not
off but it is displaying some parts of the external X display sort of
all mixed up and at the wrong resolution. If this does not harm the
display then I can deal with it. I think I read something about this
in another thread so I'll have to do some more digging.
With these options, the internal display is stilled messed up, even
when I disconnect the external display and restart X. I wonder if I
can have X check for the presence of the external and use it when it is
present, else, use the internal. I'll see if I can find some more info
about what these options are actually doing.
thanks for your help
Mike
