Hi, Thanks for the answer, at least that nails down the problem (I wasn't sure if it was X or the driver). Another question: how am I supposed to only use the external display? If what I have read is correct, the i810 driver does not support the two heads so how can I say I just want to use the "external display" one? (there is no "crt_screen" option like in the ATI driver).
