Hello


I just want to inform you that I have partially solved the problem I
reported earlier.

    -  either I use i855crt.

    -  or the latest driver found in
http://www.fairlite.demon.co.uk/intel.html

I could use this driver with Xfree 4.3 so no need to use X.org.
I had to add the following lines to the  XF86Config-4 file:
     Option "MonitorLayout" "CRT,LFP"
        Option "Clone" "true"
in the Driver section.

However using fn-f7 does not work as it should when cycling around,
the resolution of the display gets worse and I have to restart the
Xserver.
