in xfree 4.3.0 you could use xrandr perhaps, although you have to swith the output to the external port. you can also have several XF86Config files and just pass them as to startx when you start your X server. I don't recall the exact server option, but I believe it is something like this. (just look up the startx man page or XFree86 documentation.)
e.g. startx -- -config /path/to/XF86Config-internal or startx -- -config /path/to/XF86Config-external you could also make scripts with this command in it and call them start-moble and start-docked or somehting like that. Alex -------------------------- Hi, we have laptops (Compaq Armada M500), and we want two different displays: either the internal LCD : 1024x768 OR plug the laptop in a dock, and use an external mouse, keybord AND LCD monitor 1280x1024 (also a compaq model). I can't install RH8.0 so that both display can work without some manual XF86Config modifications. Is there a standard mechanism to handle such configurations ? For example, calling xf86config at boot time or when X is started ? /etc/X11 seems to have some premilary infrastructure to handle several modlines, but nothing functionnal. Any help ?
