I know that this isn't *EXACTLY* the right place to ask this question, pointers to the correct place are appreciated. I'm trying to get my X display to work with both the LCD and the external video connector on my laptop. I'm not sure what I need to do to tweak the XF86Config file to make this happen. Here's the behavior I get now: If I attempt to switch the display from the internal LCD to the external video when X is running the screen goes all swimmy and unreadable (like some psychedelic screen saver gone wrong) and the only way to get back to what I need is to kill X and then restart it. (this also happens when I close the lid or suspend when X is running). I'm assuming that this isn't a known bug with my laptop (Dell Lattitude CPi 266) but rather something that I need to configure in X. Attached is my X configuration as it stands right now. Does anyone have any insight on tweaking X to work with both the internal and external displays. trurl 1 % uname -a FreeBSD trurl 3.2-STABLE FreeBSD 3.2-STABLE #5: Mon Jul 12 16:51:19 MDT 1999 root@:/usr/src/sys/compile/TRURL i386 vga0: <NeoMagic NM2160 laptop SVGA controller> rev 0x01 int a irq 11 on pci0.2.0 Dell Lattitude CPi 266 Colin E.
