I have a Dell Latitude CPi laptop with FreeBSD 3.1. I am using XFree86 to run twm and xterm. On the laptop's display, I can start an x session and view the windows just fine. However, when the laptop is docked, the `text` mode is visible on my monitor, but when I run startx, the screen goes blank. I believe the laptop uses the same NeoMagic card for both the laptop screen and the monitor. I think the docking station is just a pass-through for monitors. I could be wrong though. One possible caveat is that I have a DVD installed on the laptop. Part of the DVD is a PCMCIA card to decode MPEG2 from a dvd. I wouldn't think this would matter, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have a similar setup and worked through this before? Thanks ================== Dr Jim D.
