I have a Dell Inspiron 4100 laptop equipped with the GeForce2 Go card. I have been using the closed-source nvidia driver for a while, but I have recently changed to the patched version of the nv driver (the patch should AFAIK have been added to the CVS tree now). I sometimes connect my laptop to an external monitor. With the nvidia driver that was easy since it had the option (through SecondMonitorHorizSync and SecondMonitorVertRefresh) of specifying the sync frequencies for both the laptop's and the external monitor. Browsing through the manuals, I have not figured out if it is possible to do something similar using the nv driver. So my question is: when using the nv driver what are my options for switching between an external monitor and the build-in flat screen display. In particular, is there some way to do it ``on the fly'', i.e., without having to stop my X server? Or is there some way to have the X server reread the XF86Config-4 without stopping the current session? Any help will be greatly appreciated Thanks Peter -- http://www.linearity.org/turtle/contact.html ``When you have had all the experiences, met all the famous people, made some money, toured the world and got all the acclaim you still think--is that it?
