I'm just trying to do plain vanilla analog out although the builtin LCD is coming on and displaying a picture (sometimes). Switching between the builtin LCD and external port doesn't quite work right. I have to init 3 and then type init 5 but not hit return. Then I use FnF7 to switch to external and hit return. Ultimately I think X is getting info from other sources that is overriding horizsync values at least. I suppose it's thinking the builting LCD is primary. I know the hardware can do it because it dual boots Win2k and that works. Can I even do analog out and use the builtin display dual head? That would be sweet. Is there a doc on that? The strange thing is I *think* I had this working before with X 4.2. I upgraded to 4.3 from rawhide source to try and get DVI to work better which it did but still I couldn't get rid of some distortion.
