Rich,

I have uploaded my Libretto C110 XFConfig files to:
	http://www.cregganna.com/libretto_110ct
These are for X 4.0 so I don't know if this helps.

I have a symlink of XF86Config-4 to the internal one and if I need the
to use an external monitor I either use dispswitch or if I want to go
1024x768 I start X with the script:

	startx_ext
	=========8<========
	#!/bin/sh

	EXTERNAL_DISP=true
	export EXTERNAL_DISP

	startx -- -xf86config XF86Config-4.ext
	=========8<========

And in .Xclients I have:
	if [ "$EXTERNAL_DISP" != "" ]
	then
		dispswitch -e
	fi

The key to the internal XF86Config is the "overrideValidateMode"
Otherwise the 800x480 gets discarded as invalid.

Let us know how you get on.

Regards,
	Tony Jewell
