I actually don't have a macbook pro. ;) The default driver with the fedora install is intel. I tried (maybe not hard enough) i810 instead, with 'improved' result: the external monitor just stayed completely dead.

Uhm, no; it's an LCD panel as well. Why don't you just send over your co-worker's widescreen for a day? ;-) Thanks, Eric ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Take Surveys. Earn Cash.
