[ltp] External Monitor/Projector in X Window

[jmaegli]

Hello,
I have been running Linux for 3 years now (started with RH 4.1) but I have
never installed Linux on a laptop. Everything works well except when I
startx my primary monitor goes blank (looses the signal from the laptop). I
have an IBM Thinkpad 600E with a Neomagic 256AV video card installed using
RH 6.0 with a 2.2.10 kernel. I have installed new Neomagic drivers (RH
supplies drivers for the Neomagic 128... card only).  No matter what I have
tried the monitor or projector looses the signal from the laptop. I have
tried all the resolutions and I have switched between them without a
positive result. If I CTRL-ALT Backspace out of X-Window the monitor comes
alive again.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.
