Well, I've been reading all the threads and asking for help all over the place. My system is a Toshiba Satellite Laptop. It uses an ATI radeon 7000 mobility. I wish to have an external LCD work along with the laptop display any way possible.

This was based off https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-24116-postdays-0-postorder-asc-start-25.html thread, though I have had no luck. Only the external LCD monitor is on, though when booting both monitors display the same things, when X loads the laptop monitor goes black. |

Hi,
the output of | Code: | | cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log ( or whatever the correct file name is :-) ) |
should bring some light to whatever issue you might have.
On my laptop with an Nvidia chipset the screen order changes
when an external device is connected so
screen0 -> ext.
screen1 -> int.
Not sure about ATI.
regards |
