My son just upgraded his laptop and I inherited his old one.
It's a Dell Inspiron 1501.
I have Fedora Core 8 on it.
I haven't been able to figure out how to get it to send video out the
video port in the back.
When he had Windows on it you could toggle <ctrl>F8 to get it to show on
the internal screen only, both the internal screen and the external
screen and just the external screen.
I haven't been able to figure out how to get anything to come out of the
external video in FC8 yet.
Any pointers ?
Thanks

I have the same model. Mine was configured with an ATI card, how about
yours?
If it's ATI, you can install kmod-fglrx from livna repo and the external
monitor should start working.
Not sure how to do it with other video cards and/or drivers..
