My new work bought a bunch of the same laptop after checking that the
graphics chipset was supported by X. However there seems to be some
weird jiggery pokery between the chipset and the LCD screens. We can
get X up and running perfectly on an external monitor but the LCD just
flickers or is blank, regardless of the combinations of refresh rates
we've used.
Are there any test programs/scripts/whatever to go through a range of
possible modes automatically with user feedback when it finds one that
works? Is this the right approach to finding one that works? Is this
safe or could it fry the LCD?
Alternatively, is there some way to get ALL the information needed for
X about the video modes Windows is using?
