One possibility was to configure X so that it could drive the crt. Luca's comment and some lines in the log make me think there is a chance, but I still don't know how to get it to work. Do I need a change to the config? Must the external monitor be connected when X starts? I copied some sections from the log that make me think it might work if someone can point me in the right direction. Another possibility would be to figure out how to fix the keyboard hotkey FnF8, which should turn on the crt but is buggy, or how to fix i810switch, which activates the crt by writing to a location in /dev/mem but drives the crt at a frequency that is out of range. There is some information about i855 graphics registers in this datasheet http://developer.intel.com/design/chipsets/datashts/252615.htm Could this be used to fix i810switch? Could we program SXGA+ resolution without relying on the BIOS? Would disassembling the BIOS help? Or would we need better documentation from Intel to do it? I would be very interested in helping with an effort to work on these issues.
