Hi,

Does your monitor get a signal from your 600? I used the following setting
in the X86freeconfig file:

Option 	intern_disp
Option 	extern_disp

I think it is in the device section. It works OK for me with kernel 2.2.14
it is Mandrake but I also tested it with Redhat 6.1

I have Red Hat 6.2 (2.2.14 kernel) running on my 600e Thinkpad. Everything
works great (sound, 1024x768 resolution, token ring, etc.). I now use a
port replicator with an IBM 6550 monitor. Tried running XConfigurator to
create a 2nd config file to swap between (docked and undocked) but I just
can't get the monitor to run X! I have the H (30-94) and V (48-120) sync
rates but still no luck. Seems like it is stuck in LCD mode or something.

Thoughts?
