I had this same problem with Amilo D8830 laptop. This laptop has ATI Radeon Mobility 9000 M9 graphic controller, and I have a Viewsonic VP201S TFT -monitor in the external VGA connector. Try adding the option: Option "MonitorLayout" "LVDS, CRT" into the primary Videocard0 Device section. More options are available with: "man radeon" If you take a look at the xorg log file at /var/log/Xorg.0.log you can probably find a line "(WW) Only one monitor detected, primary screen will NOT be created" or similar. This configuration is working ok for me otherwise, but for some unknown reason I can't use mode 5 as the default runlevel in the /etc/inittab anymore. The boot process will 'hang' in the end of the rc5.d scripts and never opens the gdm screen. If I set the runlevel at 3, login in text mode and use "startx" to start X everything works ok. My xorg.conf is available at: <URL:http://korpese.pp.fi/xorg.conf> -- seppo ----------------------------------------- ============================================================ The information contained in this message may be privileged and confidential and protected from disclosure.
