Try doing a "startx 2>&1 |tee start.log" (you should be able to us a ">" instead
of the "|tee" but it never seems to work on mine) to write all output (standard
and error) to a log file.
My best guess (and that's all it is) is that XFree86 is finding and enabling the
external display first and then disabling/ignoring the internal display (LCD).
The driver for this just came out in 3.3.6 so there very well might be a general
detection bug. Several of the drivers will take an option in the "display"
section like "intern_disp" to force the use. Have you tried this?
