BTW - Is there documentation somewhere for those options?

You can usually get an external CRT to work by forcing:
Option "CrtcNumber" "0" Option "FlatPanel" "0"
In the XF86Config file. If that's not working I'd like to see the /var/log/XFree86.0.log from the case where it comes up normally on the flat panel. If the external monitor is a DFP, the "nv" driver won't work unless the laptop booted to the external panel.

I configured my Dell laptop with RedHat Linux 9.0. It has an nVidia video card. Then I've undertaken the daunting task of configuring the external display. I tried running redhat-config-xfree86 and the graphical window doesn't come up (garbled noise). I tried running XFree86 -configure and using that XFConfig86 file. When I ran XFree86 to test it, I got a blank screen. Each time X fails to load, my terminal resets the top line to the last line used, running commands off the bottom of the monitor.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I'm about to go back and figure out my version of XFree86 and try connecting to my monitor directly (instead of through the docking station)l.
Thanks, Dan
