Hi,

I know this has been asked over a thousand times before, but I can't get
an external display to work properly. I'm running an IBM T41p with
Sarge, kernel 2.6.10, XFree 4.3.0 and fglrx 8.14.13.1.

Problem is: The LCD panel has a resolution of 1400x1050, the external
TFT has only 1024x768. I have managed to get the external display
showing something, but with the LCD panel's resolution which enables
scrolling.

The more I look for information on the web, the more options I discover
I have not heard of before... I'm getting confused and don't know what
else to look for.

I'd appreciate any help!

The relevant stuff in XFreeConfig-4 looks as follows:

Section "Device"
        Identifier      "Card0"
        Driver          "fglrx"
        Option "VideoOverlay" "on"
        Option "OpenGLOverlay" "off"
        Option "UseInternalAGPGART" "no"

        # Found this option via Google on
        # https://lg3d-core.dev.java.net/etc/XF86Config-4.talin-single
        # Should enabled clone mode
        Option "DesktopSetup"   "0x00000100"
EndSection

        Identifier      "Card1"

        Option          "MonitorLayout" "AUTO, CRT"
        Option          "CloneMode" "1024x768"
EndSection

        HorizSync       28-50

        # [ skipped a few SubSections here ]

        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1400x1050" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier      "ScreenExt"
        Device          "Card1"
        Monitor         "MonExt"
        DefaultDepth    24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth           24
                Modes           "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
                ViewPort        0 0
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Thanks,
André
