Hey,

This is kinda a question for Derek (because I know he had the same
problem) but if anyone else can answer (and perhaps help both of us)
that would be cool.

I'm trying to use the external monitor output of my laptop, which runs
an ATI Rage 128 Mobility. I'm using XF86 4.3 and a 2.4 kernel. I'm
using the framebuffer driver for the card though. The internal driver
doesn't seem to work that well. (Internal to X) I'm running Yellowdog
3.0.

When I boot with the external monitor connected I got some BIOS looking
messages on a white screen with black text. Otherwise it isn't doing
anything much. Especially after the machine goes to sleep. I do know
about the m3mirror utility.

    Thanks,
        Ted
