I've been trying to make my brand new second hand tft work as a second monitor to my Ibm Thinkpad T23. The Thinkpad T23 has S3 Inc. SuperSavage IX/C SDR (xorg does support duaview with this chip). My Thinkpad got the latest bios updates, I'm running latest X.org found in unstable (1:7.3+10).
The problem is, if I start Iceweasel on the external monitor, it will crash. You can't use the keyboard (NumLock button doesn't work), but pressing the power button will cause Linux to power off, the screens are black. And if I display images with feh, I get weird noises, the same when I set the background. If I play movies with mplayer, I can't play them in full screen, only the original size. These problems occur only on the external screen. The internal lcd is just as usual. I took a screenshot, and uploaded it onto flickr, the noise is seen here. http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2117/2382485843_04abea007a_o.jpg I've been looking around trying to find any help, but I don't really know what to look after. Anyone heard about this problem?
