Sorry for the delay, long weekend in Canada :)

I tried out the UseAtomBIOS option. When I run plain X from the command line I
see both my laptop *and* external DVI light up! The resolutions are whacky,
especially on the external DVI. See comment #37 for the xorg log.



However when I log into my gnome desktop using atom bios...it's a good news and
bad news thing.

Good News: My external DVI monitor lights up with 1920x1200 resolution this
time!

Bad News: 

1) My laptop panel doesn't light up anymore. I tried turning it on manually
with xrandr and it says:

xrandr --output PANEL --auto
xrandr: Configure crtc 1 failed

2) The external DVI display has some horizontal flickering problems. It's not
unusable, but annoying.

I will attach the xorg log from logging into the desktop. It's quite different
at quick glance. Not sure why again.
