Hi,
I have a laptop - external monitor problem and will *gladly*
send $25 to the first person who posts the critical
info to get it running correctly. Let me buy you lunch ...
just wish I could be there too :-)
Here's the issue -
I'm running XFree86 Version 4.1.0 (Red Hat Linux release: 4.1.0-3)
on Redhat 7.2 on a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop / ATI Rage 128 Mobility.
The laptop screen is 1400x1050, and the external monitor is
1600x1200. I can run the external monitor at 1400x1050,
but I really need to drive it at 1600x1200.
When I hit Fn-F8 to switch monitors the external
monitor works OK, but only at 1400x1050.
When I put the line
Option "Display" "CRT"
in the Device section, the laptop screen turns off and the external
turns on automatically, without Fn-F8.
But it's at 1400x1050, and is all wavey/jittery/turbulent.
How can I get the external monitor running at 1600x1200?
The config and log files are appended below.
Again, my offer is serious and is for the first person
who offers the full solution.
Many thanks!
Steve
