DS, The XFree86 NeoMagic driver already supports external monitors at whatever frequencies are present in the Modeline definitions of the XF86Config file. You need to start with the default XF86Config file that is produced when you install the XFree86 NeoMagic drivers. You will find two Option fields under the "Device" Section with the Identifier "NeoMagic". These fields are: intern_disp and extern_disp. If you remove the comment character from either Option, that will enable either the internal, external, or both displays. The internal option is used if both fields are commented out. When both displays are used, the frequency is limited to 60 Hz, the upper limit of the LCD. If you only enable the external monitor then the driver will use the monitor timings defined in the Modeline statements which are present in the Monitor section of the file. If you have XFree86 running on another system that uses the monitor you intend to use with the laptop, simply copy the Modeline statements you need into the XF86Config file that is used on your laptop. Please feel free to write me directly if you have any more questions.
