Some neomagic chipsets can only be configed by X at server start time. I have 2 Dell laptops, both with NeoMagic chips. The 128 uses the "option InternalDisplay" and "option ExternalDisplay" in the XF86Config. You must select one or both before you start the X server. The 256 uses the FN-F7 key combo, just like under Windoze. So, it depends on which NeoMagic chipset your laptop uses. ericb ry> if you press your function key and either F2/F3/F4 or something you should ry> be able to switch between crt/lcd and both. some laptops even have fn-F7/F8 ry> ryan ry> --signatures are overrated--

Doesn't a laptop disable the onboard display once a monitor is plugged in?

I need help configuring my laptop to switch from an external crt to the laptop flat pannel. I do not care if they cannot be displayed at the same time I just need the display.

I have tried all the X setting that are in the XF86Config program. My card (for lack of a better word for it) is an neomagic 2 meg card. Normaly (on the flat plannel) I can set it to 1024x768.

Any help would be most appreciated.

Thanks, Louis -- ~~~~~~__ __ ~~~~~/ / / / _ ~~~~/ / / /___ (_)__ __ ~~~/ /_/ / _ \/ / \ \/ / ~~~\___ /_/ /_/_/ /_/\_\ ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Louis Bohm Systems Manager Lightbridge, Inc. 781.359.4795 http://www.lightbridge.com mailto:lbohm@lightbridge.com Free Tivoli scripts can be found at http://www.microgeek.com ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
