Hi

I want to use my Toshiba m200 tablet with the external monitor so that I could just switch from the lcd to CRT. When I use Alt+F5 the console appears OK, but when I switch to X the CRT is showing a colorful collection of rectangles. My xorg.conf in gentoo is

Code:
 
Section "Monitor"
   Identifier  "lcdpanel"
   HorizSync   31.5 - 64.3
   VertRefresh 50-90
   Option  "DPMS"  "true"

EndSection

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "nv"
        VendorName  "nVidia Corporation"
        BoardName   "GeForce FX Go5200 32M/64M"
        BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "lcdpanel"
        SubSection "Display"
                Modes "1400x1050"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     1
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     4
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     8
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     15
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     16
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Viewport   0 0
                Depth     24
        EndSubSection
EndSection


whille the XFree config of my Dell CRT monitor on my Fedora desktop is:

Code:

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "Monitor Vendor"
        ModelName    "Dell M992"
        HorizSync    30.0 - 96.0
        VertRefresh  50.0 - 160.0
        Option      "dpms"
EndSection

Section "Device"

        # no known options
        #BusID
        Identifier  "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)"
        Driver      "nv"
        VendorName  "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)"
        BoardName   "NVIDIA Quadro FX (generic)"
EndSection


Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "NVIDIA GeForce 4 (generic)"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     16
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     16
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes    "1280x1024" "1280x960" "1152x864" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

Section "DRI"
        Mode         0666
EndSection


It is not clear to me how to setup two different monitors with different parameters at the same time.:(
Hope someone can help.

Thanks, Ferenc
