The world is conspiring to keep me on a laptop display for life.  I could=20
not get the 770z to push a fast enough refresh at resolutions higher than=20
1024x768, and once you go 1280, you never go back :-)   Now, I finally=20
have a laptop that can push a fast enough refresh externally, and I can=20
only use it with Windoze.  Arrggghhh.  What a waste of a 21" monitor.

Is anybody out there actually using the Xig driver on a laptop?  With an=20
external display?  Does it do strangeness when you go from the external=20
display (or both) to just the laptop display?

It is still not possible with 4.0.2. I checked out the ati driver from
CVS and all the external monitor stuff was still #defined out. :-(
