I am wondering if anyone has found a solution to the following problem: 

To switch between the LCD display of the laptop and an external
multisync monitor AND doing it in such a way as to NOT produce flicker.

I am using the IBM TP600 with the Neomagic chipset (NM 2160) with the
XFM drivers from Precision Insight/Redhat at 1024x768. 

I have found partial solutions such as:

1) enabling int_disp and ext_disp options in XF86Config which works
except that the external 21" monitor flickers like crazy and is hell on
my eyes (no matter which postion the Fn+F7 mode is set at).

2) To only enable the ext_disp option which lets me have a wonderful
flicker free 80 Hz refresh rate external screen ....BUT NO LCD screen!!


Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I have heard commerical X
servers support this kind of feature. Any comments?
