Hi
I got the same problem (and some other) running xfree 4.2.0 on suse 7.2
I got a toshiba laptop and obviously I got the same problem when attach
an external crt display.
Do not try to create different video modes and use the same
modelines/settings for lcd/crt... you could damage it...!!!!
The solution I found is this:
-create two version of XF86config
-one is the default used in the runlevel 5 (the one for lcd)
-the other is for external crt monitor.
-edit manually (or even with sax2 on suse..) and add "crt_screen" option
to force X to use the external monitor.
I manage the two configurations as this:
-the one for lcd is the default used from X when I start the system
-the one for crt is used when I boot to runlevel 3 and do a startx --
-xf86config XF86Config.crt
It's not very nice... But I can't find a way for choosing from gdm what
configuration to use (because X is already running...I think)... perhaps
making a new runlevel which is identical of the fifth except that X uses
a specified config file... and so at boot time you can choose... it
could be a nicer solution...
see attach for my Xf86config for crt external monitor.
