I recently installed Red Hat 7.3 on my Vaio notepad. Everything works
except for the display, which has the following strange behaviour. If I do
startx then I do not get a functioning display and I have tried lots of
different settings in Xconfig - none work when I probe.
HOWEVER, if I do startx with my laptop
plugged into an external monitor AND THEN switch back to the laptop's
display then I get a full, high-resolution picture and everything is fine
from then on! (But I don't really want to walk round with a 19" CRT
monitor).

Does anyone know why I get this strange behaviour and how to fix it? I
guess there must be a quick fix since the display works perfectly after
I do the switch.

The details of the display and the video card are:

1400 x 1050 15" display
ATI Rage Mobility M1 8MB graphic card
I am using the XFree86 4.2 driver

Thanks a lot for any replies,

Joshua
