First, tahnks to all the helpful people wha have provided tremndous
ammounts of help in working through getting XFree86 set up for my
Toshiba Tecra 500CDT.
Now on to what I hope the final issue is.
The maximum resolution that I appear to be able to get on the internal
LCD display is 800x600, so be it. However I sometimes usethis machine
with an external disply that can use much higher resolutin. The
internal graphic hardware can slo support this higher resolutin.
I intended to simply define the needed resolutins in XF86Confg, and use
[CTRL} {ALT} + to swithc as needed. The problem with this scheme is
that XF86 then gives me a virtual screen the size of the mximum
resolutin defined (EG 1024x768). Since I am going to use a virtual
window manager (FVWM) this does not work very well :-(
Som here is the question. Is there some way that I can:
1. Use alternate XF86Config files for the 2 scenario, and
2. Detect the presence or absence of the monitor, to make this swithc
automaticly?
I wo8ld envison only going to/from the monitor at boot time?
Sugestiosn?
And again, thanks for all the help.
