I've found how to activate the external monitor using xrandr from the
command line:
$ xrandr --output LDVS --mode "800x600"
$ xrandr --output LDVS --mode "1024x768"
The first will get a signal to the external monitor, and the second
restores the screen to the usual resolution. Running the seco
The other bug mentions using packages from debian sid. You may want to
try those packages as well (or sit tight and see if it is packaged for
Hardy).
Before marking this as a duplicate of the other bug, I would test that
it is a regression from Gutsy. The other bug mentions it worked on

I found that bug 231081 describes the same problem in the ATI IGP 340M
video card. Apparently, the IGP 340M is nearly identical to the
Mobility U1 (also known as the IGP 320M). The solution to bug 231081
was to update xserver-xorg-video-ati to 6.8.192. I couldn't find that
specific release, but

Cloning would be fine - I really just want to be able to use a projector

xrandr --ouput VGA-0 --same-as LDVS

For the virtual desktop you could get away with "Virtual 1024 1536"
Are you trying to clone the internal monitor or have an extended
desktop?
I have a similar setup to yours (except I have the misfortune of an x1400; what
a pain!) and the following works to get my external monitor working as an

Wow! Thanks for the fast reply.

The internal LCD is 1024x768. The external monitor is a CRT capable of
a variety of resolutions; I was aimi
What resolution are the monitors you are using (both the internal LCD
and external monitor)?
The "Virtual 2048 2048" line is not meant to be copied verbatim. It is
meant to be the size of your virtual desktop. For instance I have a
1400x1050 LCD on my Thnkpad, and if I connect it to my 1680x1050
I have the same problem with a Presario 2199US, which also has the
Radeon Mobility U1. As with Thomas, I get bios, boot messages, and
usplash on the external monitor. Just before GDM comes up, the laptop
LCD goes completely blank (no backlight) for a few seconds; at that
time, the external monito

I forgot to add that during boot the display is fine on both the laptop
and external monitor. I see bios, boot messages, usplash. The external
monitor doesn't actually turn off until the login screen appears
(actually just before, I assume when the login screen begins to load)
