(--) ATI(0): 1024x768 panel (ID 4) detected. (--) ATI(0): Panel model LG LP141X2-A. (--) ATI(0): Panel clock is 28.348 MHz. (II) ATI(0): Using digital flat panel interface. I just found out there is no man page for the ati Xf86 4 driver, but it should be the same as in the r128(4) page. According to that, you should just have to put: Option "Display" "CRT" In the Screen section of your XF86Config-4 file to stop it from using the panel. (To use the panel, use "FP") I'd recommend setting up another Monitor section your XF86Config-4 file for the panel. This page has a modeline that should work, but notice his warning about using the VESA framebuffer to fix the 'starting X on LCD' problem: http://klee.cs.depaul.edu/ajeffrey/omnibook.html (from http://www.linux-laptop.net) Hope that helps
