external monitor on siliconmotion chipset

[Michael Hothorn <mhothorn@ix.urz.uni-heidelberg.de>]

Hi there,

I have Debian Woody running on an IBM Thinkpad i1200, using XFree86
Version 4.1.0.1 / X Window System and the following XF86config-4 lines:

Section "Device"
        Identifier  "Card0"
        Driver      "siliconmotion"
        Chipset     "lynxem+"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
        Identifier "Screen0"
        Device     "Card0"
        Monitor    "Monitor0"
        DefaultDepth     24
        SubSection "Display"
                Depth     24
                Modes    "800x600"
        EndSubSection
EndSection

The Display is a TFT 800x600. I can connect the machine to external
beamers and screens but only with the resolution and depth defined in the
Screen Section (of course).

Is there any way of making the card sending another resolution + depth to
the external output, making it possible to connect a 15" LCD Screen? I
read man siliconmotion, but there are only suggestions for multi-headed
setups...

bye
