[ltp] CRT and LCD at the same time?

[D. Sen]

Robert,

Unfortunately, neither IBM nor Tim nor S3 paid any heed to my request for
help with this issue. As far as I know it affects any of the S3 chipsets
that support 1400x1050. Apparently this includes the T21 and T22 with the
higher resolutions. I am not sure about the T23. IBM has totally ignored
my pleas for help, perhaps hoping that ignoring us will make the problem
go away. Tim says that he is either not being paid by IBM/S3 or is not
allowed to work on this issue. It doesnt even appear on his page as a
remaining issue that needs to be resolved.

I tried to tweak Tim's s3switch utility and had limited success. I was
working blindly in that I didnt have the specs to the Savage chipset
(I tried contacting S3 for the specs to no avail). Others have reported
no success with my tweaks.
