Hi Xperts, after having tried lots of things, I'm still nowhere near an acceptable situation with running X on my laptop and I hope you can shed some light on the issue.
My hardware: - Dell Latitude c610 (with Radeon Mobility M6 LY) My software: - Debian Woody, - XFree86 4.2.1-3 (currently in unstable) - libc6 (2.2.5-14.3) I am trying to get my machine to operate at a decent resolution & refresh rate: I want 1024x768@60Hz on the LCD and 1280x1024@85Hz on the CRT, see attached XF86Config files. Both work fine in the sense that I get what I ask for. However, for some reason the laptop doesn't turn off the LCD when switching to the CRT (either with <Fn>+<F8> or docking it) when configured for 1280x1024@85Hz whereas it does when configured for 1024x768@60Hz. Silly thing is, Windows 2000 Pro can do it properly so it can't be just the hardware... Any help will be highly appreciated! Auke -- PGP: 0x4A34DD6D, http://bunny.sourceforge.net/
