It shouldn't change. lspci shows pci devices not monitors. Some video chips show up as two pci devices, but this is purely a hack for running dualhead in windows 2000 and has nothing to do with monitors. > > Has it to change or not? > I remember I've ran that laptop with an external beamer (long time > ago) there was even compiz running there... > Does the external port work if you boot the laptop with the lid closed?

Whoops, we should include the list in case others run into the same issue (adding it back now). TV-out shouldn't be a problem. does xrandr show it as connected? By default it's assumed to be disconnected so it's not used.
