I got a Compaq Presario with a 15.0" TFT XGA display, with a Mobility =
Radeon card.  If I run X with just the laptop display the colors are all =
wrong, but it I use the [FN]+[F3] to switch my display to any external =
monitor and switch it back it's fixed.  I wouldn't be so concerned if I =
just had to switch displays to fix the graphics, but my system is smart =
enough to know there's no monitor plugged in on the external port.  So =
the only way I can run is to have an external monitor handy wherever I =
go.  There's little point to having a laptop if I can't go mobile with =
it.  Is there any way to configure it, or check the configuration =
between the external and panel displays to fix this?  Thanks in advance =
for any help.
