-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi. Up to date Sid (not that I think that matters)
I'm having a serious problem trying to use an external monitor on my laptop. Sony Vaio GRT170, with an Nvidia Ge5600 card. The external video worked in console mode from the start. I discovered the problem with "dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg" where it will not do anything other than choose a keyboard, by trying to get X to display correctly. Video timings and modlines! Ouch. Well, Knoppix displayed correctly, but there was no mouse pointer. As I wibbled with the touchpad, the icons would get their "mouse-over effects", so the input was working. It just wasn't being displayed. The screen on my laptop is dying, but if I flip the lid switch I get light for some 5-10 seconds. This allows me to see that the LCD _is_ displaying the mouse pointer, even while the external display does not. Is this some kind of "feature" for not cluttering an overhead projector with a mouse cursor when doing presentations? Anyway, if anyone has a clue how to enable the mouse pointer to be displayed on an external monitor, I'd appreciate it.
