#läuft mit 1400x1050, der angeschlossene beamer verträgt "nur" 1024x768.

i'd like to use the tft and the vga-out too, incase i need it for an 
presentation with an beamer which only like to work with 1024x768.

#wenn andere bereich hilfreich sind, kann ich die auch noch posten. nur 
#die mail ist jetzt schon lang.

i think this mail is realy long, so if you need more of the output, i'll 
post it in an other.

about the software:
i updated the sources from woody to testing, but without dist-upgrade
(there are only 3 files which were not updated)
i also installed the driver from gatos (ati.2) for 4.2.
actuell xfree - version: 4.2.1


if  you need other information, please let me know. it would be nice if 
i can use linux. i won't like to use XP ;-)))
