Ritesh,
I'm suspecting that it's the video card which isn't properly configured:
(--) TRIDENT(0): Found Cyber 9388 chip
(--) TRIDENT(0): RAM type is SGRAM
(--) TRIDENT(0): Using HW cursor
(--) TRIDENT(0): VideoRAM: 2048 kByte
(--) TRIDENT(0): TFT Panel 800x600 found
After this, the 1024x768 resolution is dropped.
I'm using the 'trident' video driver but couldn't find how to configure
it to recognize the external monitor.
Thanks for the tip. I'll look into that.
Paulo
