Jeff,
I'm not sure exactly what your question is. Do you just want to use an
external monitor instead of the laptop LCD? That's not a problem. I do it in
Winblows and RH 6.2 without having to do anything special. I see 1280x1024
on both the LCD and external 21" monitor. So that must not be your question.
Perhaps you're asking the same thing that I was asking earlier. Is there a
way to have an extended desktop using both the external monitor and the LCD.
If this is your question, please keep me posted on an answer if you hear of
one.
Winblows spoiled me. I like having my email client and Netscape on one
monitor while doing real work on the other monitor.

The world is conspiring to keep me on a laptop display for life. I could
not get the 770z to push a fast enough refresh at resolutions higher than
1024x768, and once you go 1280, you never go back :-) Now, I finally have
a laptop that can push a fast enough refresh externally, and I can 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
external display? Does it do strangeness when you go from the external
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. :-(
