I'm not sure, if I've understood you correct. Do you want to say, that you
experience the same problems under Windows? For me, it works just fine with
the pre-installed WinXP. But I don't want to use that...
Apart from the problems described in this thread, XFree86 4.2.1 works really
well on my laptop. In single head mode, I don't experience any lock ups. In
dual head, I have found a reproducable one, when using kdm with screens of
different dimensions, which does not occur when using equal dimensions for
both screens. I'm running KDE 2.2 (as shipped with woody) and hope, that this
will be fixed in KDE 3.0.
Summary: After you finally get it running, dual head works just fine, except
for this ugly workaround of not connecting the crt at boot-time! :)
ciao Sebastian
